How to Make 4 Cheese Chicken And Bacon Tortellini
- Cook 1/2 pound bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, crumble, and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
- Add 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound) to the pan with reserved bacon fat. Season with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Cook until fully cooked through and no longer pink, about 10-12 minutes.
- Once cooled, crumble the bacon and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound cheese tortellini and cook according to package directions. While the tortellini cooks, chop 1/2 cup green onions and 1 cup fresh mushrooms.
- Drain the tortellini. Add two (24 ounce) jars of 4 cheese pasta sauce, the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and mushrooms to the pot.
- Simmer on low heat for approximately 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Serve hot. This recipe yields 4-6 generous servings.
