Cook the Tortellini
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Add the chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
