Creamy Chicken and Tortellini with Asparagus and Bacon (30-Minute Meal)

Creamy Chicken, Asparagus, and Bacon Tortellini - delicious Italian-style dinner you can make at home!

📝 Ingredients

• 2 cups tortellini (, uncooked)
• 1/2 pound asparagus
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lb chicken breast (, chopped)
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 8 slices bacon (, cooked and chopped)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (, shredded)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cook tortellini according to the package instructions, and then drain.
2. 2While the tortellini is cooking, cook the asparagus as you prefer: steam it or boil it in hot water. I boiled it quickly in hot water to the desired crispiness. Drain.
3. 3Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add chopped chicken breast, sprinkle it generously with salt and Italian seasoning and cook the chicken, occasionally stirring, until it is completely cooked through.
4. 4In the skillet where you just cooked chicken, combine cooked tortellini, cooked asparagus, cooked chicken, and 2/3 of the amount of chopped cooked bacon (reserving the rest of the bacon for later).
5. 5Add heavy cream. Bring to boil and boil for 1-2 minutes, occasionally stirring. Sauce should thicken. Add shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired, and stir it in, while the sauce is boiling. Remove from heat.
6. 6Top with the remaining chopped cooked bacon and serve.
