Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and just cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.

- Add 20 ounces refrigerated tortellini to the pan and bring to a boil; cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure tortellini is coated with liquid. Stir in ½ cup heavy cream and ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese and cook for 1 more minute.
