Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package directions. 2 minutes before the tortellini finishes cooking, add the broccoli to the pot. Drain and set aside.
Melt half of the butter in a large oven proof skillet (cast iron skillet) over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until well-browned all over and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream and place the remaining butter in the skillet. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly.
Next, whisk in parmesan cheese, until fully melted and thickened. Whisk in half of the mozzarella cheese.
Place the cooked chicken, tortellini, and broccoli into Alfredo sauce and toss to combine. Top with the remaining mozzarella.
Bake 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese begins to bubble and brown slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional).
