Which Brands Did I Use For This Buffalo Chicken Cheese Tortellini?

Sometimes when it comes to Semihomemade recipe that use packaged foods to create meals, the brands of items can make or break a dish. I don’t think this ALWAYS happens but I do know that not all packaged items are created equally.

Alfredo sauce – We use Bertolli Alfredo Sauce with Aged Parmesan Cheese. This is my favorite jar alfredo but you can always make homemade!

Buffalo sauce – I really love to make my own buffalo sauce but I also like the Moore Buffalo Wing Sauce.

Shredded Chicken- For this recipe/post I used precooked, pre-shredded chicken from the Food Lion Deli but you can use leftover shredded chicken or cook and shred chicken for this recipe. You could also get a Rotisserie chicken from the deli and shred some of it for this recipe. The chicken that I got from the grocery store did have the Rotisserie chicken seasoning on it.

Refrigerated cheese tortellini– I used the refrigerated cheese tortellini from the deli section but you can use any kind you want.

How To Make Buffalo Chicken Tortellini:

Add alfredo sauce and buffalo sauce to a medium saucepan.

For the buffalo sauce: If you’re crazy about hot sauce and buffalo sauce you may want to add more, if you’re not a fan, you may want to add less.
Heat on medium heat until warm.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, add refrigerated cheese tortellini.
Cook according to package directions. About 5-7 minutes.
Add shredded chicken to the buffalo sauce mixture and stir to combine.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add pasta to the sauce.
Stir to combine.
Once heated throughout, it’s time to serve.
Optional sprinkle of fresh parsley for color.
