Categories     Dinner

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups low fat milk
4 ounces low fat cream cheese
3 Tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon butter
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (19 ounce) bag frozen tortellini
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups cooked chicken (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 (10 ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables (I used green beans, carrots, peas, and corn)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Start by making the Alfredo sauce by placing milk, low fat cream cheese, flour and salt in a blender and blend it until it is completely smooth.
  • Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter and garlic for a minute. Whisk in the blended milk mixture, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes.
  • Continue stirring the sauce over heat until it reaches your desired thickness, then mix in Parmesan cheese.
  • Once your sauce is ready (or if you don't make homemade Alfredo sauce, feel free to use jarred sauce), it's time to assemble the casserole.
  • Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In the baking dish, mix together Alfredo sauce, frozen tortellini (don't cook it first), chicken broth, seasonings, chicken and frozen vegetables.
  • Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven, sprinkle casserole with Parmesan cheese, and place the pan back in the oven (uncovered) for another few minutes or until the cheese is melted.

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 cups chicken broth
2 (12 ounce) packages cheese tortellini
cooking spray
½ cup butter
6 green onions, sliced
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 cup sour cream
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 (4 ounce) cans button mushrooms, drained and sliced
