Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 9 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken:
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken until golden and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet and set aside. - Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 4-5 minutes, until slightly thickened. - Add Tortellini:
Add the tortellini directly into the sauce and cook for another 4-6 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and coated in creamy goodness. - Slice and Serve:
Slice the cooked chicken, return it to the skillet, and spoon the sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve immediately!
