Steam the broccoli until it’s bright green and slightly soft but still crisp.

Combine the tortellini, cooked chicken, and warm broccoli into the sauce. Stir until coated evenly.

Save some of the pasta water to loosen the sauce if it gets too thick.
02 -
Cook chicken in smaller portions if your pan is crowded.
03 -
Steam the broccoli ahead so it’s ready to go.
