Great, Easy Recipe

Here's what we're having for dinner tonight...it's a quick recipe that's really yummy!
It's from Better Homes & Gardens:

Chicken Tortellini
~ 1 9 oz package frozen cheese tortellini
~1 cup frozen peas, corn, or other vegetable
~1 8-oz tub of cream cheese spread, chive and onion flavor
~ 1/2 cup of milk
~ 1 9 oz package Tyson's cooked, cubed chicken

Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook tortellini according to package directions. Place frozen vegetable in colander. Drain hot pasta over vegetables to thaw; return pasta-vegetable mix 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.
3. Stir cheese sauce into cooked pasta mixture. Cook until heated through. Spoon into serving bowl, top with chicken.


I will put this with a tossed salad and bread--great comfort food! One thing I like to do with my salad is to toast coconut and almonds in butter. Add some cranberries and feta cheese and voila! You've got a gourmet salad on hand!

Enjoy!
