Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup cheese tortellini
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 clove garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, allowing the sauce to thicken for about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

You can substitute the chicken with shrimp or vegetables for a different variation.
