Ingredients
1 lb Chicken Breast, diced into 1-inch cubes
8 oz Cheese Tortellini
1 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
4 cups Chicken broth (non-alcoholic)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into one-inch cubes and season generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat.
Sauté the seasoned chicken cubes until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Pour in four cups of chicken broth and bring the liquid to a steady simmer.
Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and boil according to package directions until tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
Simmer for two additional minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter texture. Always use freshly grated Parmesan cheese to ensure the sauce melts into a smooth consistency without graininess.
