Ingredients
Cheese tortellini
Chicken breast
Fresh broccoli
Heavy cream
Parmesan cheese
Garlic cloves
Butter
Olive oil
Instructions
Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Steam the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender, then set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear seasoned chicken cubes until golden brown and cooked through (6-8 minutes). Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Gradually whisk in heavy cream until well combined.
Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Add reserved pasta water if necessary.
Combine the chicken, cooked tortellini, and broccoli into the sauce, tossing gently to coat. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on top.
