Three-Cheese Tortellini with Blackened Chicken
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with blackening spice, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and blackened. Remove from skillet and let rest.
Cook the Tortellini
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the three-cheese tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet used for the chicken, lower the heat and add the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the Parmesan, mozzarella, and ricotta cheeses until melted and smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Combine
Add the cooked tortellini to the cheese sauce, stirring gently to coat. Slice the blackened chicken and serve on top of the tortellini. Garnish with fresh basil.
