Tortellini Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Once done, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccoli

    In a pot of boiling salted water, add the broccoli florets and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tortellini

    In the same pot of boiling water, add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Creamy Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the heavy cream with red pepper flakes. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the grilled chicken slices and blanched broccoli to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss in the cooked tortellini and mix well to coat all ingredients with the sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the tortellini and top with shaved Parmesan Reggiano cheese. Serve warm and enjoy!
