The Best Loaded Cajun Alfredo Tortellini Skillet Recipe

4.0

20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)

1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, plus extra to taste

Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, to season the chicken

2 tbsp olive oil – for searing the chicken

3 tbsp butter – adds richness to the sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced – for a flavorful base

1 red bell pepper, diced – sweet crunch and color

1 cup baby spinach (optional)

¾ cup heavy cream – the base of your Alfredo sauce

½ cup milk or chicken broth – to thin and stretch the sauce slightly

¾ cup grated parmesan cheese – for that signature creamy tang

½ cup shredded mozzarella (optional)

Optional Garnishes: red pepper flakes, fresh chopped parsley, cracked black pepper

Cook the Cheese Tortellini: Boil a large pot of salted water, add tortellini, cook for 3 to 5 minutes until tender, drain and set aside.
Season and Sear the Chicken: Season chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet, sear chicken for 5–6 minutes until browned, then set aside.
Sauté the Bell Pepper and Garlic: In the same skillet, melt butter, sauté red bell pepper for 3–4 minutes, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. If using, add baby spinach and cook until wilted.
Make the Creamy Cajun Alfredo Sauce: Pour in heavy cream and milk or broth, simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese and mozzarella until melted and smooth.
Combine the Chicken and Tortellini: Add cooked tortellini and seared chicken to the skillet, fold together and heat for 1–2 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper before serving.
