How to Make 4 Cheese Chicken And Bacon Tortellini

1. Cook 1/2 pound bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, crumble, and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
2. 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.
3. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Simmer on low heat for approximately 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
7. Serve hot. This recipe yields 4-6 generous servings.
