Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini

  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra richness)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Season chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. In the same pan, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Add broccoli and sauté for 2–3 minutes.

  5. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then stir in the tortellini. Bring to a gentle simmer and cover. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and the broccoli is cooked.

  6. Stir in parmesan cheese and cooked chicken. Let it cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  7. Add butter if desired for a richer sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  8. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if using.

Notes

  • Frozen tortellini can be used—just adjust cooking time as needed.

  • For extra veggies, stir in spinach or peas at the end.

  • Light cream or half-and-half can be used instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
