Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian dressing
12 ounces fresh cheese tortellini or 12 ounces frozen cheese tortellini
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
12 sun-dried tomatoes, cut into slivers
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a ziplock bag, pour entire bottle of Italian dressing over the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Turn the bag several times.
  • Drain the chicken and discard marinade. Grill for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and no pink remains. Remove from grill and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • While chicken is grilling, heat water and cook tortellini until tender but still firm ~ about 8 to 10 minutes. If using frozen, cook according to package directions.
  • Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine mayo, eggs, red pepper, tomatoes, salt and pepper, chicken, and tortellini and mix until well combined. Add additional mayo if necessary to reach desired consistency.
