  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Make the chicken: Toss chicken, oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until coated.

  3. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a plate; cut into bite-sized pieces when cool enough to handle.

  4. While the chicken is cooking, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add tortellini, return to a boil, and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until tortellini float to the top and cheese filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain and keep warm.

  5. Make the sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add cream and cook for 3 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add Italian seasoning and pepper; bring to a slow boil. Cook at a slow boil for 1 minute, then stir in tortellini and chicken. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
