Instructions

Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Sauté Garlic and Add Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream, chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir and bring to a simmer.
Add Parmesan and Chicken: Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 3-5 minutes.
Cook Tortellini: In a separate pot, cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and add to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss gently to coat.
Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, and add a tablespoon of the oil to the sauce.
Adjust the sauce thickness by adding a splash of pasta water or more broth if needed.
