Skillet Chicken Tortellini Alfredo image

Store-bought tortellini are the star of this quick and creamy weeknight meal. They simmer in their own sauce, making this a one-skillet meal with easy cleanup. Try one-inch pieces of Italian sausage instead of chicken for a variation.

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
