Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
¼ cup dry white wine
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

ROASTED TUSCAN CHICKEN DINNER



Roasted Tuscan Chicken Dinner image

When an Italian friend shared many years ago that she often added Italian sausages to her pan of baked chicken, I had to give it a try! The sausages give the chicken an amazing flavor. Over the years, I've turned it into a one-dish meal by adding potatoes, onions and peppers, and it has become a family favorite that I often use for holidays, spur of the moment company and Sunday dinners. -Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois

  • Use a large skillet that can accommodate the chicken breasts in a single layer, to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat, to prevent it from burning.
  • Baste the chicken with the pan juices during cooking, to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • While the chicken is resting, make the alfredo sauce. Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • To prevent the alfredo sauce from curdling, add the cream and Parmesan cheese slowly, while whisking constantly.
