Calories 713kcal

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cheese tortellini
  • 3/4 lb Chicken breast boneless skinless
  • 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 4 Egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Red onion minced
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 cups Green Peas
  • 1/4 cup Chicken broth
  • 4 slices Crusty bread toasted if desired
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
  • Red pepper flakes optional garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the tortellini according to the package directions. Drain well and set aside.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Season the chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil to prevent from sticking. Cook on both sides to an internal temperature of 160°F using a thermometer. Set aside to rest before slicing.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, parmesan, and milk. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until golden brown. Add in the peas and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the broth and tortellini.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the egg yolk parmesan mixture until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed.
  • Top with sliced chicken and parmesan. Serve with bread, garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes (if using).
