Skillet Chicken Tortellini Alfredo

A quick and creamy weeknight meal. The chicken and pasta soaks in their own sauce, making this a one-skillet meal the star of the night. 

It’s been a while since we’ve prepared an entire dinner in one skillet and I am excited to share with you this dish. A couple of years ago I posted this one skillet Lasagna and after it’s debut it has become one of my families favorite. This dish is equally easy, and tasty dish.

NOTES:

• I always use minced garlic instead of a garlic powder because it gives your dish new level. 
• This is such a rich and creamy dish that serving sizes will probably be smaller. I suggest serving it with a green salad to balance out the meal.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
• 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/2 cup Mozzarella, shredded
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• salt , to taste
• 18 ounces frozen or dry cheese tortellini
• Rotisserie chicken, shredded
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Heat the heavy cream, butter, garlic, cream cheese, nutmeg, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, Mozzarella and 1 teaspoon salt in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until the cheese and butter are melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tortellini and simmer until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. 
3. Bake until the chicken is just cooked through, the sauce has thickened and the top starts to turn golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with the parsley.
