  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make chicken with tortellini and broccoli. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find a recipe that you love.
