- Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs into the bottom of your slow cooker. There’s no need to trim or cut the chicken at this stage; it will easily shred after cooking.1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- Pour the can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken soup) over the chicken in the slow cooker. Next, add the undrained can of diced tomatoes and green chilies.1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
- Pour in the chicken broth. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker.1 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and very tender and easily shreds. The exact cooking time will depend on your slow cooker's settings and the size of your chicken pieces.
- Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board or in a bowl. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

- Cover the slow cooker again and cook on high for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the tortellini are cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the tortellini are cooked and the sauce is creamy and heated through, ladle the CrockPot Chicken Tortellini into bowls.
