Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  2. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add the cheese tortellini to the skillet and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes, until tender.
  6. Once the tortellini is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, and enjoy your comforting Garlic Butter Chicken & Cheese Tortellini!
