Tender chicken and perfectly cooked asparagus mixed with cream makes this Creamy Chicken and Asparagus Tortellini one of my favorite 30 Minute Meals. It's just enough comfort balanced with vegetables. Made with Olive Oil and generously sprinkled with Italian Seasonings.
Think of this meal for you next party or get together. It can definitely feed a large group of people. Guaranteed to deliver smiles and full bellies to those you care about.
Creamy Chicken and Asparagus Tortellini
Ingredients
2 cups tortellini, uncooked
½ pound asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb chicken breast, chopped into 1 inch pieces
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
Instructions
Cook tortellini according to the package instructions, and then drain.
While the tortellini is cooking, cook the asparagus as you prefer: steam it or boil it in hot water. I boiled it quickly in hot water to the desired crispiness. Drain.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add chopped chicken breast, sprinkle it generously with salt and Italian seasoning and cook the chicken, occasionally stirring, until it is completely cooked through.
In the skillet where you just cooked chicken, combine cooked tortellini, cooked asparagus, cooked chicken
Add heavy cream. Bring to boil and boil for 1-2 minutes, occasionally stirring. Sauce should thicken. Add shredded Parmesan cheese and stir it in while the sauce is boiling.
Remove from heat & Enjoy!
