– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Creating Marry Me Chicken Tortellini is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring until well combined. Bring to a low simmer.
5. Add Seasonings: Stir in the Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken for about 3-5 minutes.
6. Cook Tortellini: While the sauce is simmering, cook the tortellini in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
7. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet with the sauce. Add the cooked tortellini and toss to coat everything evenly.
8. Heat Through: Allow everything to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the tortellini is warmed.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your delicious Marry Me Chicken Tortellini!
