Main Ingredients

24 oz Cheese Tortellini Frozen, refrigerated is also fine but adjust liquid slightly
1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Cut into 1-inch cubes
10.5 oz Can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 cup Chicken Broth Low Sodium
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 cup Alfredo Sauce Store-bought is recommended for simplicity
1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground
0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated, for topping
0.25 cup Fresh Parsley Chopped, for garnish

Method

Instructions

Place the cubed chicken breasts into the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian herbs, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat.
Cook on LOW for 3 hours, or on HIGH for 2 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
After the chicken is cooked, increase the heat to HIGH (if it wasn't already). Add the frozen tortellini directly into the slow cooker. Gently stir to submerge. Continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes (or longer if using refrigerated tortellini) until the tortellini are tender and heated through.
Stir well to combine everything. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

Freezing note: This recipe freezes surprisingly well. Allow it to cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. You may need to add a splash of milk or broth when reheating to restore the creamy consistency.
