Print Recipe

This creamy chicken broccoli tortellini skillet is the ultimate comfort meal made in one pan. Juicy chicken, tender cheese tortellini, and fresh broccoli are smothered in a rich, cheesy garlic cream sauce and baked until bubbly and golden. Perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini for 2–3 minutes less than package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and sauté until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add cooked tortellini and toss everything to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan evenly over the top.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook on low for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh or refrigerated tortellini for best texture and flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the tortellini as it will continue to cook in the skillet.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • This dish can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or microwave.
