Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into uniform pieces and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook cheese tortellini according to package instructions, reserving ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and sear for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium, add minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Adjust thickness with reserved pasta water as needed.
- Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add seared chicken back into the skillet, coating well with the sauce.
- Add drained tortellini and toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Plate the dish and garnish with chopped parsley before serving warm.

Notes
Adjust seasoning based on your preferences. For extra flavor, consider adding sun-dried tomatoes or trying shrimp instead of chicken.
