Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Spoon
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the diced chicken over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic, basil, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the cooked chicken and tortellini to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For best results, sear the chicken separately before adding it to the sauce to ensure it remains tender and juicy. The key to achieving the perfect creamy consistency is to simmer the cream and broth together, allowing the sauce to thicken gradually. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
