Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), chopped

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 10 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)

  • Optional: red pepper flakes, fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thin cutlets. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  • In the same pan, sauté onion until soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.

  • Add broth and sun-dried tomatoes, simmer 2–3 minutes. Stir in cream and parmesan until melted.

  • Add tortellini to sauce. Simmer 5–7 minutes, covered, until tender.

  • Slice cooked chicken and return to the pan. Stir to combine.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time.

  • Add spinach or kale for extra greens.

  • Thin sauce with extra broth if needed.

  • Best served immediately but keeps for 3 days refrigerated.
