Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning blend

For the pasta & sauce:

  • 9 oz refrigerated tortellini (Asiago & ham blend recommended)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 4 oz salted butter (unsalted works too)
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Asiago cheese (or extra Parmesan)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

For the topping:

  • ⅓ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:

Pound the chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness with a meat mallet.

Place them in a zip-top bag with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Seal the bag and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.

2️⃣ Cook the Chicken:

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom.

Cook the chicken for 7-9 minutes per side until fully cooked.

Remove from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board before slicing.

3️⃣ Make the Alfredo Sauce:

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine heavy cream, half & half, and butter.

Heat until small bubbles form, but do not boil.

Add Parmesan, Asiago, and garlic powder; whisk until the sauce is smooth and thickened.

4️⃣ Prepare the Tortellini:

Cook the tortellini according to package directions, then drain.

In a 2-quart baking dish, add the cooked tortellini and pour Alfredo sauce over it, making sure it’s evenly coated.

5️⃣ Assemble & Broil:

Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the pasta.

Sprinkle with Panko breadcrumbs and shredded Mozzarella cheese.

Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
Let the dish cool slightly, then serve warm with garlic bread or a fresh salad!

Notes

  • Tortellini Substitute: If you can’t find Asiago & ham tortellini, use cheese or spinach tortellini.
  • Extra Creamy: For a richer sauce, add ¼ cup cream cheese while making the Alfredo sauce.
  • Crispier Topping: Mix Panko with melted butter before sprinkling to enhance crispiness.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble everything except the final broil, refrigerate, and bake when ready.
