Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 9 oz 1 package tortellini Choose cheese-filled tortellini for best flavor.
  • 2 cups 2 cups broccoli florets Fresh or frozen can be used.
  • 2 cups 2 cups cooked chicken, diced Grilled or rotisserie chicken works well.
  • 1 cup 1 cup Alfredo sauce Store-bought or homemade can be used.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season according to preference.
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish Use freshly grated for best results.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same pot of boiling water, add the broccoli florets and cook for about 1-2 minutes until tender and vibrant green. Drain and set aside with the tortellini.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, broccoli, diced chicken, and Alfredo sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, gently combine everything. Allow heating for 4-5 minutes while stirring occasionally until warmed through.
  5. Serve warm, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use a vegan Alfredo sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of milk if necessary.
