Instructions
- Add 10 cups water and 1 tbsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken breast tenders. Sear until tenders are golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.** Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Heat the same pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then swirl to melt.
- Add shallots and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender and fragrant, 3-4 min.
- Meanwhile, add tortellini to the boiling water. Cook for 1 min.
- Add broccoli to the pot with tortellini. Cook stirring occasionally, until tortellini and broccoli are tender, 2-3 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain very well.
- Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over shallots and garlic. Stir to coat.
- Add cream, cream cheese and 1/2 cup (3/4 cup) water. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Add tortellini, broccoli, half the Parmesan and half the reserved cooking water to the pan with sauce. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, combine ingredients in the large pot!)
- Season with pepper, then toss to coat. (TIP: For a lighter sauce, add more reserved cooking water, 1-2 tbsp at a time!)
- Divide tortellini and broccoli alfredo between plates.
- Thinly slice chicken and divide between plates.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan overtop.
