  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken breast, sliced
– 2 cups cheese tortellini
– 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)


Instructions

Creating Irresistible Cajun Chicken Tortellini with Garlic Sauce is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook Tortellini: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Season Chicken: In a bowl, toss the sliced chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Sauté Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Prepare Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
5. Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Combine Chicken and Tortellini: Add the cooked chicken and tortellini back to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic sauce. Allow everything to simmer for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the tortellini is well coated.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped parsley and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
