Ingredients
  

8 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound chicken breast, diced

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

1 zucchini, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

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

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and zucchini, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

        Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the cherry tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the drained tortellini and gently toss everything together to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the tortellini soak up some broth.

            Finish with Basil: Stir in the fresh basil and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

              Serve: Plate the Skillet Chicken Tortellini and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy your delightful meal!
