Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add tortellini and cook until they float to the surface and the filling is heated through, about 3 minutes. Drain well. (8 minutes)

03

Step

While the tortellini is cooking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes until a smooth paste forms (a roux). (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually whisk in heavy cream and chicken broth until smooth. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Do not boil. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, white wine, garlic, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)

06

Step

In an ungreased 11x17-inch casserole dish, toss the drained tortellini and cubed chicken together. Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the tortellini and chicken. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. (30 minutes)

09

Step

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

For an even richer flavor, try using half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as sauteed mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
To prevent the sauce from separating, ensure the heat is low and consistent when melting the cheese.
A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat.

    Be careful not to overcook the tortellini; they can get mushy. Follow the directions carefully, and you'll be fine.
