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, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Once cooked, drain the tortellini in a colander and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the bite-sized chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

      Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, ensuring it does not burn.

        Make it Creamy: Gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring well to incorporate the sautéed garlic. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, then slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is melted and creamy.

          Season the Sauce: Add the Italian seasoning to the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you desire a bit of heat.

            Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, drained tortellini, and peas to the Alfredo sauce. Gently toss everything together to ensure that the tortellini and chicken are evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Heat through for about 2 minutes, allowing the peas to warm.

              Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the dish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley before serving. For a finishing touch, offer an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
