I'm on a quest to find recipes that use store-bought, pre-cooked chicken, and this certainly fit the bill! And it looks wonderfully easy. As says, Boiling water is the most time-consuming element of making this super-fast chicken spin on mac-and-cheese. Ingredients:
1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini |
1 cup frozen peas |
1 (8 ounce) container cream cheese spread (garden vegetable flavor or chive and onion) |
1/2 cup milk |
1 (9 ounce) package frozen chopped cooked chicken breasts |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan cook tortellini according to package directions. Place frozen vegetable in colander. Drain the hot pasta over vegetables to thaw; return pasta-vegetable mixture to pan.
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine cream cheese and milk; heat and stir until cheese is melted. Heat chicken according to package directions.
3. Stir cheese sauce into cooked pasta-vegetable mixture. Cook and gently stir until heated through. Spoon into individual serving bowls. Top with chicken. Makes 4 servings.
