# Ingredients:
01 -
1/2 cup chicken stock.
02 -
12 oz tortellini with cheese filling.
03 -
2 broccoli cups, small florets.
04 -
2 tablespoons olive oil.
05 -
1 teaspoon Italian herbs mix.
06 -
2 chicken breasts, cubed.
07 -
1 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese.
08 -
Salt and pepper as needed.
09 -
Fresh parsley for topping.
10 -
1 cup heavy whipping cream.
11 -
4 cloves of garlic, chopped finely.
# Instructions:
01 -
Follow the package instructions to cook tortellini. Fresh types are quick, usually 3-5 minutes, while frozen ones take around 8-10 minutes.
02 -
Add oil to a heated pan, season chicken, and cook till golden and done, roughly 5-7 minutes. Put it to the side.
03 -
Cook minced garlic for about a minute. Pour in cream and broth, let it bubble gently for a couple minutes. Stir Parmesan until it melts smoothly.
04 -
Mix cooked chicken, tortellini, and broccoli into the sauce. Stir so everything gets coated well.
05 -
Sprinkle some parsley and adjust seasoning before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Avoid piling too much chicken in the pan; it won’t cook evenly.
02 -
Hang on to some pasta water. Use it to thin out the sauce if needed.
03 -
Steam broccoli first, so it keeps its bright green color.
