Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)

2 cups broccoli florets

4 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Add the broccoli florets in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and nicely browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and bring to a simmer.

        Add the Cheese: Lower the heat and gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked tortellini, broccoli, and chicken to the skillet. Toss gently until everything is well coated in the creamy garlic sauce.

            Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
