Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add broccoli florets and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Add the cooked chicken and tortellini to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the tortellini is heated through and the sauce is creamy. If using frozen tortellini, cook according to package directions before adding to the skillet.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortellini.
  • You can substitute frozen broccoli for fresh, adding it directly to the skillet with the chicken broth.
  • Adjust seasoning to your preference.
