🛒 Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works perfectly)

  • 3 cups heavy cream

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 cup frozen peas or spinach

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice

🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Crockpot

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Combine the Base Ingredients

Add the shredded chicken, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Tip: Using pre-cooked chicken saves time and keeps the meat tender.

Step 3: Cook the Sauce

Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours or HIGH for 1–2 hours, until the sauce is heated through and flavorful.

Optional: For added depth, stir in ½ cup cream cheese or a touch of butter before cooking.

Step 4: Add the Tortellini

About 20–30 minutes before serving, add the cheese tortellini to the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat with the creamy sauce.

  • Cook on LOW for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini is tender.

  • If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of milk or cream to reach desired consistency.
