Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil and Italian seasoning.
  • Pound the chicken with a meat tenderizer to thin out the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about an inch.
  • Place chicken in a Ziploc bag. Add the marinade into the bag and coat the chicken well with it.
  • Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. For best results, keep it overnight.

Preparing the Chicken

  • You can grill the chicken on an outdoor grill. If you don’t have a grill, you can cook chicken by baking it at 425F.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or till the internal temperature reaches 165F.
  • Once done, slice chicken breast and set aside.

Cook Tortellini

  • While the chicken is baking, start boiling a large pot of water.
  • Cook the tortellini as per the package directions in salted water and set aside.

Prepare Alfredo Sauce

  • When the tortellini is about half done, start making the alfredo sauce.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Cook for a minute while stirring occasionally.
  • Then add garlic, flour, parmesan, romano cheese, milk, and heavy cream to it.
  • Stir frequently until the sauce begins to simmer. Once done. remove it from heat.
  • Set aside 1/2-1 cup (depending on how creamy you like you pasta to be) of alfredo sauce for later.

Assembling Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo

  • Assemble this dish by gently combining drained pasta with the rest of Alfredo sauce.
  • Move it into an oven-safe dish or casserole dish.
  • Top it off with sliced chicken, panko bread crumbs, and mozzarella.
  • Broil on high for around 4 minutes or until you see cheese starts to brown or bubble.
  • Add alfredo sauce that was set aside while serving.

Notes

Tips
  • Try not to pound the chicken too thin and try pound it to an even thickness throughout.
  • Start boiling the water for the tortelloni when you are cooking the chicken to save time.
  • Mix the tortelloni into the creamy sauce gently as they are fragile and could break open.
Storing
Store it in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for around 2-3 days. To reheat, add a splash of chicken stock or milk to loosen up the sauce. You can either reheat it in a skillet or in the microwave oven.
Because we use heavy whipping cream to make the sauce, I do not recommend freezing this dish.
Make-Ahead Options
You can make the alfredo sauce and chicken up to two days in advance. Cook tortellini on the day you are planning on having it. Then assemble the dish by combining alfredo sauce with the tortellini and chicken pieces on top. Add the bread crumbs and mozzarella cheese on top just before you are planning on serving it.
