Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Tortellini

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the tortellini is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and pesto sauce, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Combine Everything

    Add the cooked tortellini and sliced chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat everything well. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Tortellini Chicken di Milano warm, garnished with extra Parmesan and basil if desired.
