Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 package (9 oz) cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente (usually 3-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the cooked shredded chicken to the sauce mixture and stir to coat evenly.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In your baking dish, add the cooked tortellini, then pour the creamy chicken ranch mixture over the top. Gently fold everything together so the tortellini is evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella evenly over the top of the casserole.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starts to turn golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for freshness and a pop of color. Serve warm and enjoy!
