Ingredients

  • Heavy cream
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic cloves
  • Butter
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Boil the tortellini: Cook cheese tortellini according to package instructions in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Steam the broccoli: Steam fresh broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Plunge into ice water, drain, and set aside.
  3. Sear the chicken: Season chicken breast (cut into cubes) with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, searing chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Remove from skillet.
  4. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Gradually whisk in heavy cream.
  5. Combine ingredients: Remove skillet from heat; stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Adjust thickness with reserved pasta water as needed.
  6. Toss everything together: Return chicken to skillet, add cooked tortellini and steamed broccoli. Gently mix until well coated with sauce.
