Easy Chicken Pasta Alfredo - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
    3 tablespoons butter
    1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
    1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
    2 cups heavy whipping cream
    1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    1 teaspoon salt
Preparation
    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add tortellini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 5 minutes. Drain.
    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken breast in hot oil until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
    Melt butter in another skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms and garlic powder until mushrooms begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir heavy cream into mushrooms and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese, parsley, and salt. Continue to cook until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
    Stir tortellini and chicken into mushroom-cream sauce. Simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes.
