Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, pour in the whole milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add Velveeta and cream cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Mix in shredded mozzarella until fully incorporated.
Return the cooked chicken to the pot along with the tortellini. Stir well to coat the tortellini in sauce and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until heated through.
Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
