Ingredients

– 10 oz cheese tortellini
– 2 cups broccoli florets

– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Creating this flavorful Creamy Garlic Parmesan Tortellini with Chicken & Broccoli is straightforward. Follow these steps to make the perfect dish:

1. Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the pot. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

4. Add Cheese: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.

5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the drained tortellini and broccoli. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.

6. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.

7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if you like.
