Grill Chicken. Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Rub olive oil on 4 chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper on each side. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side to an internal temperature of 165°F. Let grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Then slice the chicken into strips or bite sized pieces. Set aside.
Toast Breadcrumbs. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon salted butter in a pan until it is very hot. Add breadcrumbs to the hot oil and sauté until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes. Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs from the pan a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Set aside.
Make Tortelloni Pasta. Bring 5 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt to the boiling water. Then add Tortelloni to the water. Cook tortelloni according to package instructions. As the pasta is cooking, start the sauce. When the tortelloni is done cooking, reserve 1 cup of the salty water and drain the rest. Set both water and cooked tortelloni aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce. Stirring continually, bring cream and butter up to a boil in the bottom of a medium sauce pan. Boil for 1 minute or until sauce has thickened a little bit. Turn off the heat and the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, salt, ground pepper, and ground nutmeg. Stir together until the cheese has melted and becomes a smooth and creamy Alfredo sauce. Use a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen up the Alfredo Sauce if it is too thick.
Toss in the Cooked Tortelloni. Add the reserved cooked tortelloni.
