Description
This creamy and hearty slow cooker chicken tortellini is pure comfort in a bowl.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
Instructions
- Layer the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and add the cream of chicken soup. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the top. Give it a gentle stir around the edges, just enough to combine without disturbing the chicken too much.
- Slow cook until tender on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours. The chicken should be tender enough to shred easily with two forks.
- Shred the chicken and return it to the slow cooker. The broth will be rich and flavorful, soaking into every strand of chicken.
- Add the cream cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce. Then add the refrigerated cheese tortellini and cook on high for another 30–40 minutes until the tortellini is tender.
- Finish with the chopped spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Let it cook for about 5–10 more minutes, just until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.
Notes
- When you lift the lid for the final time, you’ll see a creamy, hearty slow cooker chicken tortellini that looks like pure comfort in a bowl.
