topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 55 g unsalted butter
  • 2 pinches of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1.5 tbsp. grated parmesan
  • 500 g frozen tortellini with cheese
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2.5cm pieces (about 600g)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
  2. In a large ovenproof skillet, combine the heavy cream, butter, nutmeg, 1 cup Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon salt and heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese and butter are melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Add the tortellini and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the chicken and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan.
  4. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, the sauce has thickened, and the top is golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes and serve, sprinkled with parsley.
