Creating Marry Me Chicken Tortellini is simplified into these easy steps:

1. Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, boil water and cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked through, add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute or until fragrant.
4. Combine Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Then, reduce heat and add the heavy cream, stirring to combine.
5. Season the Sauce: Add dried basil and oregano. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6. Mix in Tortellini: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, coating it in the creamy sauce. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
7. Serve Immediately: Once everything is well mixed and heated through, transfer to serving plates.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness before serving.
