Slowly whisk in chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes. Add 1 cup sauce to cream cheese in a blender. (reserve remaining sauce for another use. Hint: it freezes!)

Notes
I tried this with brown rice noodles, and the noodles fell apart after cooking and did not hold up to rolling. If you are gluten free, please consider Mexican Lasagna Casserole as an alternative to this dish.
