Equipment

  • 1 9x13 casserole dish
  • 1 large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 20 ounce package cheese tortellini fresh or frozen
  • 1.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into bite sized cubes
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 3/4 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp better than bouillon or 2 bouillon cubes
  • 14.5 ounce can chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 8 ounces fresh white button mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees ℉.
  • Boil water in a large pot, add tortellini, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and place tortellini in the bottom of a lightly buttered 9x13 baking dish. 
  • Toss chicken pieces in flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet. Add floured chicken to sizzling butter. Lightly brown chicken in butter. Do chicken in shifts. Add the rest of the butter when you do the second shift of chicken. Remove chicken to a plate, then add more. Transfer chicken pieces to a baking dish, evenly distributing them over the tortellini.
  • Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack cheese over tortellini’s.
  • Add chopped onions to the same pan and cook until transparent. Add cleaned and trimmed mushrooms to the pan. Saute mushrooms until they release water and start to brown, then whisk in chicken stock and bouillon. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add the remaining cheese and sour cream to the sauce, stirring with a spatula until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Remove the pan from the stovetop and pour the mushroom sauce over the chicken and tortellini.
  • Cover dish tightly with foil, place in preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
