Here’s a recipe for Marry Me Chicken Tortellini, made on the griddle, including ingredients, instructions, and approximate nutrition information:
Ingredients:
For the Marry Me Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 slices bacon, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup (60ml) sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups (200g) baby spinach leaves
For the Tortellini:
- 1 lb (450g) cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the broth to simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the baby spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain the tortellini and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Top each chicken breast with some of the creamy sauce, cooked bacon, and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
- Serve the Marry Me Chicken Tortellini hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or basil, if desired.
