# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Coat chicken breasts with oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red chili flakes. Let rest at room temperature while heating a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil grill grates and cook chicken undisturbed for about 5 minutes until it releases easily. Flip and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
02 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortelloni and cook for 7 to 8 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain thoroughly in a colander.
03 -
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Whisk in heavy cream, kosher salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat. Gradually stir in grated Parmesan and Asiago cheeses until smooth. Cover and keep warm off the heat.
04 -
Add cooked tortelloni to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if necessary. Divide among six plates and top each with sliced grilled chicken. Garnish with minced chives or parsley before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to avoid dryness. Let chicken rest after grilling to redistribute juices. Evaporated milk can substitute heavy cream for a lighter sauce without curdling.
02 -
For even cooking, consider pounding chicken breasts to uniform thickness before grilling.
