Creating Marry Me Chicken Tortellini is straightforward. Follow these steps for success:
1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
3. Remove and Slice: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well to combine.
6. Season the Sauce: Add Italian seasoning and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
7. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce reaches a smooth consistency.
8. Cook the Tortellini: Add the tortellini directly into the sauce and cook according to package instructions, typically about 3-5 minutes.
9. Reintroduce Chicken: Gently fold in the sliced chicken to coat it in the creamy sauce.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
