Recipe:
Ingredients:
* 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
* 1 medium onion, diced
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 teaspoon dried basil
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* 1 package (9 oz) cheese-filled tortellini
* 1 cup cooked pasta (linguine or fettuccine work well)
* Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
* 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente, then set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the diced tomatoes, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
5. Add the cooked chicken and tortellini to the skillet and stir to combine. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
6. Stir in the cooked pasta and toss to combine.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Variations:
* Add some spice to your dish by adding red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the sauce.
* Substitute the heavy cream with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a lighter sauce.
* Add some texture to your dish by tossing in some sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers.
* Use different types of cheese, such as ricotta or mozzarella, for a unique flavor profile.
* Make it a one-pot meal by adding the chicken and pasta to the sauce and letting it simmer until the pasta is cooked.
Additional Tips:
* Make sure to not overcook the pasta and tortellini, as it can become mushy and unpleasant.
* If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a little chicken broth or cream.
