Ingredients
-
9 oz refrigerated tortellini
-
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 tbsp butter
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini according to package directions (4–6 minutes). Drain.
-
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cream, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
-
Add shredded chicken and cooked tortellini to the skillet. Toss until evenly coated in sauce.
-
Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Warm cream gently—avoid boiling to prevent separation.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother, richer sauce.
Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut.
Add veggies like broccoli, peas, or spinach for extra nutrition.
Mozzarella can be added for a gooey, cheesy twist.
