Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 oz cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • 6 slices turkey bacon chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 12 oz cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the chopped turkey bacon until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Reduce heat to low and pour in 1 cup heavy cream. Stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, shredded chicken, turkey bacon, and Alfredo sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  • Transfer the mixture into your greased baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  • Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
