My husband gave it a 7 out of 10. A bit salty for my liking but it might have been because I substituted colby jack for the monterey jack. I would probably add broccoli or other green veggie next time.

Tried this on my husband and his parents, I didn't follow directions to a T, I cooked the sauce in the chicken and used pre-cooked tortellini. They loved it!

 Claire (United States) says:
To improve health of this recipe, i decreased butter to 3 tbsp., decreased cheese to 4 ounces; increased tortellini to 12 ounces, used fresh crimini mushrooms, and when cooking onions and mushrooms added a large fresh broccoli, chopped and cooked it with them; omitted the buillon to decrease salt and added ground pepper for increase taste. Overall, appearance pretty, taste good
