Cut chicken into cubes and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Mix flour, 1/2 tsp each of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning in a container. Dredge chicken in the mixture.

In a skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken and wipe out excess grease from the skillet.

In the skillet, melt 1 stick of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and stir. Pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly.

Add 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.

Add frozen cheese tortellini to the Alfredo sauce. Cover with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes or until the tortellini is tender.
