Tortellini Chicken Alfredo

From Natalie Sanderson
Serves 6 – 8

First, make a white sauce:
5 Tbs butter
3 cubes chicken bouillon
Melt on low stirring;
Add 5 Tbs flour
Blend, then add:
3 C milk (can do ½ C cream and 2 ½ C milk) Yummy!
Stir until thickened, add;
Pepper and paprika to taste.
Then add:
¼ C sour cream (or plain yogurt)
3 Tbs cream cheese
¾ cup grated mozzarella cheese
2- 9 oz. package cheese tortellini
or 4 cups egg noodles boiled in 8 cups water
(Natalie’s recipe has tortellini, I experimented with noodles and my family really likes it)
2 or 3 cut up cooked chicken breasts

Boil and add drained tortellini or noodles. Add cooked chicken breasts. (You can use your frozen prepared chicken here) Stir everything together with mozzarella cheese.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Optional: Some times I sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top and a little garlic powder.
These are the noodles I like in this dish

Before the sauce is added

This dish is too saucy, I only used 3 cups of noodles
