    Austin's chicken tortellini


    Source of Recipe


    Austin's

    List of Ingredients




    4 tablespoons butter or margarine
    2 10-ounce boneless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch dice
    ½ pound sliced mushrooms
    1 large onion, peeled and diced
    2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
    2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream
    4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, coarsely diced, ¾ to 1 cup
    4 tablespoons prepared pesto (see note)
    1 pound fresh (not dried) cheese tortellini
    8 ounces (2 cups) Parmesan cheese, grated
    2 to 4 tablespoons minced parsley
    Additional grated Parmesan


    Recipe



    In a large skillet or saute pan, melt the butter or margarine. As it begins to sizzle, add the cubed chicken. Cook, tossing with a spatula, until opaque and almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, onion and minced garlic. Cook an additional 5 to 8 minutes, until vegetables wilt and chicken begins to brown.

    Add the cream, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto. Stir well to blend. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Add the tortellini and grated Parmesan; stir. Cook until the cream reduces, the sauce thickens and the tortellini heat through, another 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish plates with minced parsley sprinkled over pasta. Pass additional grated Parmesan.

    Serves 4.

    Pesto can be found in a jar in most supermarkets' Italian food sections and at specialty groceries.
