Marry Me Chicken Tortellini

  • To make breading chicken a breeze, use the Better Breader Bowl that I have linked below from Amazon.

  • Use freshly minced or jarred minced garlic.

  • Make sure chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165º.

  • Use unsalted butter and unsalted chicken broth to lower the sodium content if desired.

  • Add in cooked crumbled bacon to this meal for added flavor if desired.

  • If you would like to add more spice to this dish, add in extra red pepper flakes.
