Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Broth

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Alfredo Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Pasta

  • 2 cups cheese tortellini

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season and Place Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and season them evenly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to infuse flavor.
  2. Add Broth and Garlic: Pour 2 cups of chicken broth over the chicken and add the minced garlic to the crockpot to enhance the savory base of the dish.
  3. Slow Cook Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender enough to shred easily.
  4. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks, ensuring the pieces are bite-sized and ready to absorb the sauce.
  5. Mix Sauce and Chicken: Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot, then stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese to create a creamy Alfredo sauce.
  6. Add Tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini to the crockpot and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes or until the tortellini is tender and cooked through.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish before serving to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half to reduce fat content while maintaining creaminess.
  • Add vegetables such as spinach or broccoli during the final cooking phase for extra nutrition and color.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead of time and reheated, making it perfect for meal prep or quick weeknight dinners.
