Ingredients
  

Chicken preparation

  • 2 large large chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • to taste Garlic powder

Breading mixture

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Cooking ingredients

  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 TBSP minced garlic
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Main components

  • 19 oz bag of frozen cheese tortellini
  • to taste Mild Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Sauce
  • to taste Dried parsley

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken into cubes and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a container, mix together flour, 1/2 tsp of salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. Dredge the chicken in this flour seasoning mixture.

Cooking

  • In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and it reaches 165 degrees. Remove the chicken from the pan and wipe out any extra grease.
  • Melt 1 stick of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and stir well.
  • Pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly.
  • Add 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. Mix in 1 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce thickens.
  • Once the Alfredo sauce is at your desired consistency, add the frozen cheese tortellini. Cover with a lid and let cook for about 5 minutes or until the tortellini is tender.
  • Toss the cooked chicken with buffalo sauce and top the tortellini Alfredo with it.
  • Finish with extra Parmesan cheese and some dried parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the chicken is cut into small cubes for even cooking. Don’t skip the dredging step; it creates a nice crust on the chicken. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your taste. If you prefer less heat, use less sauce and mix in a little extra cream. For a richer sauce, try adding more Parmesan cheese.
