Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 6 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon flaky salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 200ml chicken stock
  • 200ml single cream
  • 2 tablespoon grated parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 6 sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • Handful of fresh basil, chopped
  • 250g tortellini

Instructions

  • Place the flour, salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoon paprika on a plate and give it a mix. 
  • Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. 
  • Place a non-stick frying pan on medium heat with your olive oil. Add in the chicken and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until evenly golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover, and set aside. 
  • In the same pan, fry the garlic for a minute and then add in your chicken stock to deglaze the pan by scraping any bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan. 
  • Add in your cream, parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon paprika, chilli flakes, oregano, and sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and taste to adjust the seasoning. 
  • Meanwhile, cook your tortellini in salted boiling water based on package instructions. 
  • Once cooked, add to your creamy mixture. 
  • Slice your chicken into bite-sized pieces and add back into the sauce and let the sauce simmer with the chicken and tortellini for a minute. 
  • Garnish with your basil and serve up!
