Ingredients
1 8 oz. pkg. tortellini
8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, divided
4 chicken breasts boned skinned, cubed
Flour for coating
3 Tbs. olive oil
3/4 C. onion, chopped
1 Tbs. chicken bouillon granules
1 C. chicken broth
1 4 oz. can mushrooms, drained
1/2 C. sour cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cook tortellini 5 minutes less than package directions indicate, so that in the oven, the pasta still will be able to absorb juices without becoming mushy. Drain well and place in bottom of lightly greased 8 1/2×11 inch pan. Thinly slice 4 oz. of the cheese and spread over the pasta. Roll chicken breasts in flour and lightly brown in olive oil.
