Ingredients

  • Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic cloves
  • Butter
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente, reserving some pasta water before draining.
  2. Steam broccoli florets until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside.
  3. Season chicken cubes with salt and pepper, then heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes), then set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Gradually whisk in heavy cream to create the sauce.
  5. Remove from heat, whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth, seasoning as needed. Add reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick.
