Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces 
2 cups broccoli florets 
1 (9 oz) package cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen) 
3 tbsp butter 
4 cloves garlic, minced 
1 cup heavy cream 
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning 
Salt and pepper to taste 
1/4 cup chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Cook the Tortellini: Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 6-7 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the broccoli florets for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the chicken.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
Add Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Combine Everything: Add the cooked tortellini, chicken, and broccoli back into the skillet. Stir everything together to coat with the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm everything through.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, cheesy dish!
Tips:
For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a bit of spice!
You can substitute chicken with shrimp or even tofu for a vegetarian version.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more cream or even some chicken broth to thin it out.
