Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 19 oz bag frozen tortellini (We used two packs of Taste Republic GF)
• 15 oz jar Alfredo sauce (We used Rao's)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 6 pieces of bacon
• dried parsley

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a skillet or in the oven and chop into small pieces and set aside. Start a pot of water boiling on the stove.
2. Cut chicken into small cubes. In a large skillet melt butter over medium high heat. Add chicken to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
3. Once water is boiling cook tortellini according to the directions on the package.
4. Cook until chicken is cooked through and is golden brown. Stir in 1 tbsp of minced garlic and remove the skillet from the heat.
5. Add drained/cooked tortellini to the skillet and a 15 oz jar of Alfredo sauce. Stir well. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and the chopped bacon.
6. Let sit covered until the cheese melts or pop in the oven under broil for just a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
7. Top with some dried parsley and enjoy!
