Step 1: Cook the Tortellini

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
• Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions:
  • Fresh tortellini: 3-5 minutes
  • Frozen tortellini: 8-10 minutes
• Drain the tortellini and set it aside while preparing the other ingredients.

Step 2: Sauté the Chicken

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season the bite-sized chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
• Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
• Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce

• In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of chicken broth, stirring to combine.
• Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.
• Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and mix until it melts into a smooth and creamy sauce.

Step 4: Combine Everything

• Add the cooked chicken, broccoli florets, and tortellini into the skillet with the sauce.
• Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy Parmesan sauce.
• Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the broccoli is slightly tender but still vibrant.

Step 5: Final Touches & Serve

• Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding extra salt and black pepper as desired.
• Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
• Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
