Instructions
Creating Creamy Garlic Parmesan Tortellini with Chicken and Broccoli is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Broccoli and Sauce: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked tortellini and chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
5. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color, and serve immediately. Enjoy your incredible home-cooked meal!
