How to Make Chicken Tortellini
- Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
- While tortellini cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside, reserving any excess oil.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
- Gradually whisk in heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped onion.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally. Stir in Swiss cheese until melted and creamy.
- Add cooked tortellini, peas (if using), and mushrooms (if using) to the skillet. Gently stir to combine.
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Stir to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
