Easy Chicken Pasta Alfredo

Recipe View 5 mins Cook Tortellini: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook, stirring occasionally, until they float to the top and the filling is heated through (approximately 5 minutes). Drain well.

Recipe View 10 mins Sauté Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and no longer pink (about 10 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to soften and release their moisture (around 3 minutes). Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce slightly thickens (about 3 minutes).
