Creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, this Asiago Tortellini Alfredo with Grilled Chicken features tender cheese-filled tortellini baked in a garlicky Alfredo sauce, topped with an Asiago breadcrumb crust, and finished with juicy grilled chicken.

Ingredients

For the Tortellini:

  • 1 package refrigerated five cheese tortellini

For the Grilled Chicken:

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tsp Italian herb seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Asiago cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook tortellini according to package directions, drain, and spread evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken cutlets in the mixture.
  3. Grill chicken over high heat (425–450°F) for 7–8 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest before slicing.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and garlic powder, sauté briefly. Sprinkle in flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add milk and cream, whisking constantly. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat, and simmer 2–3 minutes until thickened. Stir in Parmesan until melted and smooth.
  5. Pour Alfredo sauce over tortellini in the baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Asiago cheese, and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle over tortellini.
  7. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden.
  8. Slice grilled chicken and place on top of baked tortellini. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Cook pasta just to al dente, as it will continue to bake in the oven.
  • Grill chicken over high heat for best flavor and moisture retention.
  • Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.
  • To add vegetables, mix in broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms before baking.
