How to Make Grilled Chicken And Tortellini Salad
- In a large zip-top bag, combine 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 cup Italian dressing. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chicken for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Then, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- While chicken grills, cook 1 (9-ounce) package cheese tortellini according to package directions. If using fresh tortellini, cook in boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
- Drain tortellini and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 hard-boiled eggs (chopped), 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add the grilled chicken and cooked tortellini to the bowl. Gently toss to combine.
- Add more mayonnaise if needed to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley, if desired.
