Ingredients

  • 32 oz brussels sprouts
  • 15 oz packed refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cooked & cut into pieces
  • 5 slices bacon
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup fat free half and half
  • ½ cup white cooking wine
  • 3 tbsp reduced fat margarine
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • ½ cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • Salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cook bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat. When done, transfer bacon to a plate and set aside to cool. Once bacon is cool, crumble into pieces.
  • To that same pot, add butter and stir until melted. Add garlic, chicken broth, and white cooking wine. Cook for about 5 minutes and reduce heat to low.
  • Add half and half, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, and 2 tbsp of flour. Stir frequently until mixture starts to simmer.
  • Toss in brussels sprouts, tortellini, chicken, add half of bacon crumbles. Combine until all ingredients are mixed and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup parmesan cheese and remaining bacon crumbles over casserole. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Optional: for a brown, crispy crust, set oven to broil (high) and place in the oven for about 5 minutes, until desired brownness is achieved.
