Ingredients:

• 1 lb cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

• 2 cups broccoli florets

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 4 tbsp butter

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add heavy cream, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Stir in Parmesan until melted and creamy.
