Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
- 1 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 20 oz package cheese tortellini (refrigerated or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup spinach optional for color and nutrition
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Cut the chicken into chunks or leave whole if you want to shred it later.
Add Ingredients to Crock Pot
- Place chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in the crock pot.
Cook the Chicken
- Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until chicken is tender.
Shred the Chicken
- If you used whole breasts, shred the chicken with two forks. Stir it into the creamy sauce.
Add Tortellini and Cheese
- Add the tortellini and mozzarella cheese. Stir well, cover, and cook for another 20–30 minutes on low until tortellini is soft and creamy.
Add Spinach (Optional)
- If you like, stir in spinach during the last few minutes until wilted.
Serve Warm
- Spoon into bowls and serve warm. Garnish with more cheese or herbs if you like.
Notes
- Use refrigerated tortellini for faster cooking.
- Don’t overcook the tortellini — it can get mushy.
- Add a little Parmesan cheese for a richer flavor.
- You can also use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
- Add broccoli, mushrooms, or peas for more veggies.
