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 butter separately before adding to the dish to develop a deeper, nuttier flavor and ensure maximum crispiness.
Chicken Stock Depth 🥄
Use homemade or high-quality chicken stock to elevate the sauce's complexity and add a rich, layered flavor profile to the tortellini.
Cheese Melting Magic 🧀
Remove the pan from direct heat when adding cheese to prevent breaking or becoming grainy, and stir gently until smoothly incorporated.
Broiler Browning Precision 🔥
Keep a close eye during broiling and rotate the pan for even golden-brown coloring, as breadcrumbs can quickly burn under high heat.
Garlic Infusion Trick 🧄
Bloom minced garlic in butter for 30 seconds before adding other ingredients to release its full aromatic potential and prevent bitter burning.
