Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Tortellini

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced mushrooms and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

  4. 4

    Make the Cream Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and pour in the cream. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat in the Cajun cream sauce. Stir in the chopped cilantro, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm.
