- Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Garlic
- Dried oregano
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Olive oil
- Cheese tortellini
- Cherry tomatoes
- Fresh basil leaves
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Sun-dried tomatoes
Start by preparing your chicken. Combine minced garlic, dried oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Give it a good mix, then coat the chicken breasts. Set them aside for at least 30 minutes to infuse with flavor!
Heat olive oil in your skillet over medium heat. Sear the marinated chicken breasts until they’re cooked through and golden brown on both sides. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Using the same skillet, toss in halved cherry tomatoes and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté them until they soften and release all their delicious juices.
While the tomatoes are cooking, boil a pot of salted water. Add the cheese tortellini and cook them according to the package instructions until they are beautifully al dente. Drain and set aside.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add in the basil leaves, cooked tortellini, and stir everything gently to combine. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top and watch it melt into cheesy perfection.
Your gorgeous Italian Chicken Tortellini Skillet is ready to dazzle! Plate it with some extra basil as garnish and an optional drizzle of olive oil for added flair.
- Rest the Chicken: After cooking, allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes. This keeps it juicy and allows the flavors to settle.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Whenever possible, opt for fresh basil instead of dried. It makes every bite pop!
- Cheesy Goodness: Want it extra indulgent? Add mozzarella or even goat cheese for a flavor twist.
