Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
  • Cook the Tortellini Al Dente: Tortellini should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use Fresh Broccoli: Fresh broccoli will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh broccoli, you can use frozen broccoli, but make sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken should be cooked until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The tortellini will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
