How to Make Cheesy Chicken Tortellini
- Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- While tortellini cooks, heat olive oil in a large 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
- (If using) Add chicken to the saucepan and cook, stirring frequently, until no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes). Remove chicken from saucepan and set aside, keeping warm.
- Melt butter in the same saucepan over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, shallots, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until bell peppers are crisp-tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in flour and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat. Stir in mozzarella and Swiss cheeses until melted and smooth.
- Add cooked tortellini and chicken (if using) to the cheese sauce. Toss to coat.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty bread and a fresh salad.
