Ingredients
  

12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)

Salt and pepper to taste

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for added heat)

Instructions
 

Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.

        Make it Creamy: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine with the garlic. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, then gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

          Season the Sauce: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, and season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.

            Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, drained tortellini, and peas to the sauce. Toss everything together gently to coat the tortellini and chicken evenly in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Heat through for about 2 minutes.

              Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Delight with a sprinkle of additional Parmesan if desired.
