How to Make Marry Me Chicken Tortellini on the Blackstone

Alright, let’s get this show on the road! Here’s how we make this incredible *Marry Me Chicken Tortellini* on the Blackstone. Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think! Just follow these steps, and you’ll be golden.

1. First things first: PREHEAT! Get your Blackstone griddle heated to medium heat. This is important, y’all! You want that surface nice and hot so the chicken gets a good sear. Give it a good 5-10 minutes to get ready.
2. Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil onto the preheated griddle. Careful, it might splatter a little!
3. Now, add your chicken (that lovely 1-inch pieces we talked about) to the griddle. Spread it out in a single layer so it cooks evenly. We’re looking for a nice golden brown on all sides, and the chicken needs to be cooked all the way through. This should take about 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Keep an eye on it and flip it around so it cooks evenly!
4. Once the chicken’s cooked, push it to one side of the griddle. Now, add your minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the empty space. Cook these for about a minute, until the garlic is fragrant. Oh, that smell! It’s gonna be good!
5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir everything together, scraping up any yummy bits from the bottom of the griddle. Let this mixture come to a simmer, bubbling away happily.
6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if you’re using them for that extra kick!). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it away!
7. Okay, now for the grand finale: Add your cooked cheese tortellini to the sauce on the griddle. Toss everything together to make sure the tortellini is nicely coated in that luscious sauce. Mmm!
8. Let it all cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini is heated through and the sauce has thickened up just a bit. You want the sauce to cling to the tortellini, not be all watery.
9. Serve it UP! Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and maybe a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy. And voila! You’ve got *Marry Me Chicken Tortellini* on the Blackstone! Get ready for the compliments to roll in!

Tips for the Best Marry Me Chicken Tortellini Blackstone

Wanna take your *Marry Me Chicken Tortellini Blackstone* game to the NEXT LEVEL? Of course, you do! Here are a few of my tried-and-true tips:

• **Chicken Doneness is KEY:** Seriously, nobody wants dry chicken. Use a meat thermometer if you aren’t sure! Chicken needs to hit 165°F internally.
• **Sauce Consistency:** You want the sauce thick enough to coat the tortellini. If it’s too thin, let it simmer a little longer. If it gets too thick, just add a splash more chicken broth or cream!
• **Tortellini Prep:** Make sure you cook your tortellini al dente *before* adding it to the Blackstone. Nobody likes mushy pasta. Ask me how I know… (oops!).
• **Don’t overcrowd the griddle!** Work in batches if you need to. Overcrowding lowers the temp and leads to steamed, not seared, chicken.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Marry Me Chicken Tortellini Blackstone

Okay, so let’s chat about those ingredients for our Blackstone *Marry Me Chicken Tortellini*! Got questions? I (probably) have answers!

• **Tortellini Time!** Cheese tortellini is classic here, but hey, feel free to experiment! Spinach and ricotta? Chicken? Go wild! Just make sure whatever you pick tastes yummy with creamy tomato sauce.
• **Sun-Dried Tomato Situation:** I love the oil-packed ones ’cause they’re super flavorful, but you can use the dry-packed kind too. Just soak ’em in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them up before chopping.
• **Cream Dreams:** Heavy cream gives you that super rich sauce. But if you’re trying to lighten things up a bit, half-and-half *can* work… the sauce just won’t be quite as decadent. You could also try a splash of cream cheese for extra richness *without* all the liquid!

Serving Suggestions for Marry Me Chicken Tortellini Blackstone

Okay, you’ve got this amazing *Marry Me Chicken Tortellini* sizzling on the Blackstone… now what? Here are a few ideas to make it a complete meal!

• A simple side salad with a light vinaigrette. Keeps things fresh!
• Garlic bread or crusty rolls for sopping up that delicious sauce. Seriously, DON’T let that sauce go to waste!
• Steamed broccoli or asparagus. Adds a little green and some healthy goodness.

Frequently Asked Questions About Marry Me Chicken Tortellini Blackstone

Can I use different types of pasta for this recipe?

Absolutely! While cheese tortellini is fantastic in this dish, you can totally swap it out. Ravioli would be amazing, or even penne or rotini if you’re not feeling the filled pasta vibe. Just make sure you cook whatever pasta you choose according to the package directions before adding it to the Blackstone!

Can I make this *Marry Me Chicken Tortellini Blackstone* ahead of time?

You sure can! You can cook the chicken and make the sauce earlier in the day, then just combine it with the cooked tortellini on the Blackstone right before serving. Or, you can make the *whole* dish ahead of time and reheat it later. Just keep in mind that the pasta might soak up some of the sauce as it sits, so you might need to add a splash of broth or cream when you reheat it to loosen things up. Still tastes amazing though!

Can I use an indoor grill or stovetop instead of a Blackstone griddle?

Yep! The Blackstone gives it a unique flavor, but you can definitely make this on a regular stovetop. Just use a large skillet or Dutch oven. For an indoor grill, I’d recommend cooking the chicken on the grill first, then transferring it to a skillet to make the sauce and combine everything. It’ll still be delish, I promise!

Is this recipe spicy?

Not really! The red pepper flakes add a *hint* of heat, but they’re totally optional. If you’re spice-sensitive, just leave them out! Or, if you’re a total spice fiend like me, feel free to add even MORE! A pinch of cayenne pepper would be a great addition if you really want to kick things up a notch!
