Instructions

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add 6 tablespoons butter to the skillet and stir constantly until melted. Stir in half-and-half, chicken stock 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne. Add tortellini to the skillet and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tortellini are tender and sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened, 6 to 10 minutes.

Gradually stir in 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce has thickened. Stir in chicken. Remove from heat and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top.

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the microwave. Stir in breadcrumbs, remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and Italian seasoning. Spread evenly over the top of the tortellini.

Place the skillet under the broiler and broil until mozzarella is melted and breadcrumbs are toasted.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Breadcrumb Toasting Technique 🍞
Toast panko breadcrumbs in a dry skillet before adding to the dish to maximize their nutty flavor and ensure a perfectly crispy topping.
Chicken Stock Secret 🔪
Use homemade or high-quality rotisserie chicken stock to intensify the depth of flavor in the creamy sauce, creating a more luxurious dish.
Cheese Melting Mastery 🧀
Remove the pan from direct heat when adding cheese to prevent separation, and stir gently to create a smooth, creamy consistency.
Broiler Precision 🔥
Position the oven rack 4-5 inches from the broiler and watch carefully to achieve a golden-brown topping without burning the garlic breadcrumbs.
Tortellini Timing Trick 🕒
Add tortellini to the sauce when it's slightly looser than desired, as the pasta will absorb liquid and thicken the sauce during cooking.
