Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with Cajun spices and sauté for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest.
- In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions, around 3–5 minutes, until they float to the top and are tender. Drain the tortellini and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, then pour in heavy cream over medium-low heat. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Season with additional Cajun spices if desired.
- Return the sliced chicken to the skillet with the drained tortellini and gently toss together in the garlic sauce. Allow to simmer for 2–3 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Plate the dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting rich flavors.
