A friend of mine got this recipe while traveling in Italy. Chicken, mushrooms, and tortellini in rich cream sauce. Delicious! Serve sprinkled with parsley and cheese.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
3 tablespoons butter
½ pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
2 cups heavy whipping cream
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add tortellini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken breast in hot oil until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Melt butter in another skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms and garlic powder until mushrooms begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir heavy cream into mushrooms and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese, parsley, and salt. Continue to cook until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
  • Stir tortellini and chicken into mushroom-cream sauce. Simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes.
