Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup dry white wine
• 1.5 cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• 0.5 pound grilled chicken, cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Step 3

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add tortellini, stir, and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until tortellini float to the surface and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain.

Step 4

While the tortellini is cooking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; mix well and simmer for 5 minutes, making sure not to boil. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, white wine, garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.

Step 5

Toss drained tortellini and chicken together in an ungreased 11x17-inch casserole dish. Pour Alfredo sauce over top, then cover with mozzarella cheese.
