Ingredients
- (1) ounce pkg. cheese tortellini (refrigerated)
Grilled Chicken:
- 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. chicken breast
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Alfredo Sauce:
- 6 Tablespoons butter
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- fresh Italian parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Grilled Chicken:
- Place the chicken in a large Ziploc bag or bowl. Pour in marinade ingredients and toss to coat. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes - 1 hour.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken fillets on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have beautiful grill marks. Remember, the internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Once cooked, transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender chicken. Using a sharp knife, slice the grilled chicken against the grain into thin strips.
Alfredo Sauce:
- In a large skillet or pan, heat butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream. Let heavy cream reduce and cook for 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add the parmesan cheese to the mixture in small increments and whisk well until smooth. Keep over heat and whisk well until cheese is melted. Save some pasta water. The pasta water is full of flavor and can be used to thin out the sauce. Add a little pasta water if it needs to be thinned out.
Tortellini:
- Heat a large pot of water over high heat. Generously add salt to the water. Bring to a boil. Cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Toss cooked cheese tortellini with alfredo sauce. Top with sliced grilled chicken. Season with freshly cracked pepper and garnish with minced Italian parsley.
