Ingredients

  • Cheese tortellini
  • Chicken breast
  • Fresh broccoli
  • Heavy cream
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic cloves
  • Butter
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the Cheese Tortellini: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Prepare the Broccoli: Steam broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Plunge into ice water then drain.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Season chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Gradually pour in heavy cream while whisking continuously.
  5. Combine Sauce with Cheese: Remove from heat and whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Adjust thickness with reserved pasta water if needed.
  6. Toss Everything Together: Return chicken to the skillet along with cooked tortellini and broccoli. Gently toss until everything is well coated with sauce. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan.
