A delicious blend of tender chicken, creamy sauce, and cheese tortellini, perfect for date nights and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cheese tortellini (Cooked al dente)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs (Cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 4 cloves garlic (Thinly sliced)
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (Roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (Freshly grated)
  • 6–8 leaves fresh basil (Shredded for garnish)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (To taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken thighs and sear them until fully cooked and golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add the sliced garlic, sautéing for about one minute until fragrant.
  3. Boil salted water in a separate pot, then cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.
  4. Pour the dry white wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
  5. Stir in the Italian seasoning, tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes, and heavy cream. Allow this to simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally.
  6. Toss the cooked tortellini into the sauce, mixing well to combine. Add the Parmesan cheese and shredded basil, stirring until the cheese melts and everything is coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve in shallow pasta bowls, garnished with extra basil and Parmesan. Enjoy with a salad or garlic bread.

Notes

For a vegan version, swap chicken with chickpeas or tofu, and use a dairy-free cream alternative.
