Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 340 g fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
  • 454 g boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cucchiaino garlic powder
  • 1 cucchiaino Italian seasoning
  • 1 cucchiaino Salt and pepper to taste
  • 240 ml marinara sauce for serving
  • 60 g grated Parmesan cheese optional, for garnish
  • 10 g Fresh basil leaves optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Add the tortellini to the bowl and mix gently until coated with the oil and seasonings.
  4. Place the chicken and tortellini mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook in batches.
  5. Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  6. Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and serve hot with marinara sauce, garnished with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.

Notes

If using frozen tortellini, increase the air frying time to 12 minutes, checking for doneness. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
