Creating Creamy Garlic Parmesan Tortellini with Chicken and Broccoli is simple with these clear steps:

1. Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces. Season them with salt and pepper, cooking until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Introduce Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the pot with the chicken and garlic. Pour in a splash of water, cover, and steam for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
5. Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until heated through. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
6. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the creamy chicken and broccoli mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
7. Season: Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, black pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired for extra flavor.
8. Serve Hot: Once the tortellini is well combined and heated through, remove from heat.
