Ingredients
2 TBSP Butter
2 TBSP Flour
1 C. Chicken broth
1 C. Heavy cream
1 tsp. Garlic powder
1/2 C. Shredded parmesan cheese
1 C. Chicken, cooked and chopped or shredded
12 oz. Cheese Tortellini
Salt & Pepper
Instructions
1. Fill large pot with water and bring to boil (this will be for cooking the tortellini). In a medium sized sauce pan or dutch oven melt the butter over medium low heat. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the flour and cook 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream.
2. Bring the sauce to a low boil and stir in the cheese. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the cooked chicken.
3. Cook tortellini according to package instructions. (Mine says to boil for 4 minutes.)
4. Turn off the heat for the tortellini and use a slotted spoon to drain the noodles and move them into the sauce. Stir the tortellini into the sauce and let it cook on low for 5-10 minutes stirring frequently so it doesn’t scorch to the bottom of the pan. Serve immediately.
