About This Dish

Olive Garden Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo is the richest dish on the Amazing Alfredos menu, priced from $22.79 with 1,980 calories, 131 grams of fat and 3,720 milligrams of sodium in the standard portion. Asiago cheese-filled tortelloni are baked in the house Alfredo sauce with a blend of Italian cheeses and toasted breadcrumbs, then topped with sliced grilled chicken. Because it is baked rather than tossed, the top forms a browned, crunchy crust over the cream sauce, which is what separates it from the Chicken Alfredo. Dine-in orders include unlimited breadsticks and a choice of soup or salad.

The menu lists a starting price because the dish comes in two versions: Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo at $22.79 (1,980 calories) and Shrimp Tortelloni Alfredo at $23.79 (1,870 calories), which swaps the grilled chicken for sautéed shrimp. There is no lunch or lighter portion, and at nearly 2,000 calories the plate is meant to be shared or taken partly home. For groups, the same baked tortelloni with grilled chicken is sold as a family-size pan that serves 4 to 6 for $70.99 on the family-style and catering menus, at 7,930 calories per pan.

How to Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo at Home?

Prep: 20 min Cook: 40 min Total: 60 min Medium

Olive Garden Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo combines three elements that individually require skill but together produce a spectacular baked pasta: filled pasta, a proper Alfredo sauce, and the right baked cheese topping. The dish is frequently searched as a copycat recipe because the combination of textures, from the tender pasta filling to the creamy sauce to the crunchy breadcrumb topping, is difficult to achieve with a single technique.

The approach for this copycat breaks the recipe into manageable steps: prepare the Alfredo sauce, cook the tortelloni, grill the chicken, then assemble and bake. The toasted breadcrumb topping is the detail most home cooks skip, but it is what gives the dish its restaurant-quality contrast of textures. Use panko breadcrumbs toasted in butter and garlic for the best result.

Instructions

0 / 6

  1. Season chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear in olive oil over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165F. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thin.

    16 min

  2. Cook tortelloni in salted boiling water for 1 minute less than package directions. Drain and set aside.

    8 min

  3. Make Alfredo sauce: melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add garlic for 60 seconds, pour in heavy cream and simmer 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan in batches. Season with salt and pepper.

    8 min

    Take the pan off heat before adding Parmesan. Direct heat breaks the cheese emulsion and produces a grainy sauce.

  4. Toast breadcrumbs: melt butter in a small pan over medium heat, add panko and garlic powder, stir for 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Remove and set aside.

    4 min

  5. Preheat oven to 375F. Toss cooked tortelloni with Alfredo sauce and transfer to a baking dish. Scatter mozzarella and Parmesan over the top.

    5 min

  6. Arrange sliced chicken over the cheese layer. Scatter toasted breadcrumbs evenly over everything. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are deep golden.

    25 min

    Check at 20 minutes. If breadcrumbs are browning too fast but cheese is not yet bubbling, tent loosely with foil for the remaining time.

Pro Tips

  • Use refrigerated fresh tortelloni, not dried. Fresh tortelloni has the right tender texture after baking; dried tends to over-firm up.
  • Toast the breadcrumbs in a separate pan instead of adding them raw. Raw breadcrumbs absorb too much moisture from the sauce during baking and turn soggy.
  • Pound chicken breasts to even thickness before grilling to prevent the uneven cooking that produces dry edges and a raw center.

Variations

Shrimp Tortelloni Alfredo

Replace grilled chicken with sauteed large shrimp cooked in butter and garlic for 2 minutes per side. Arrange over the cheese layer before baking.

Vegetarian Version

Skip the chicken entirely and add 2 cups of wilted spinach and 1 cup of roasted cherry tomatoes to the tortelloni-Alfredo mixture before baking.

Serving Ideas

  • Serve directly from the baking dish for a family-style presentation
  • A crisp arugula salad with lemon dressing cuts through the richness of the Alfredo
  • Garlic bread or breadsticks are ideal for scooping up the extra sauce
  • A medium-bodied white wine like Pinot Grigio or a light red like Barbera pairs well
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and a crack of black pepper immediately before serving
