Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to boil, season with salt. Cook pasta as per package instruction.
- While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet.
- When the oil is hot, add chicken cubes, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until chicken is browned and just cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan; cover with foil and keep aside.
- Clean pan if any brown bits are stuck, because we don't want the sauce to look brown.
- Add chopped bacon, cook until crispy. Remove bacon from the pan and keep aside. Discard bacon fat.
- Add butter to the pan. When butter melts add minced garlic and onion. Saute until the onion softens and raw garlic smell has disappeared.
- Stir in sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for a minute.
- Lower the heat and add cream, Parmesan cheese to the pan.
- Drain tortellini and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
- Add cooked tortellini, chicken and Bacon to the pan. Add 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water to the pan.
- Mix everything gently and let it cook for another 1 minute on low heat.

CREAMY TORTELLINI SALAD WITH CHICKEN, BACON, AND RANCH DRESSING
When I moved to Oklahoma, I discovered a pizza called "chicken bacon ranch" and this pasta salad is a nod to the flavors in the pizza. If desired, marinate chicken in ranch dressing, and grill chicken to bump up the flavor.

- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Run tortellini under cold water and drain. Store in the refrigerator until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
- Stir ranch dressing and milk together in a large bowl. Add chilled pasta, cooked chicken, mozzarella, bacon, green onions, and parsley.
- Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
