Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breast (about 4 medium breasts)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion granules
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth

For the Tortellini:

  • 1 lb cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Instructions

  1. Spray your slow cooker with olive oil (or a non-stick cooking spray). This will prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer on the bottom. Ensure they are evenly spread.
  3. Add the marinara sauce, garlic powder, onion granules, Italian seasoning mix, paprika, red chili flakes, and chicken broth. Submerge the chicken in the liquid.
  4. Cook on LOW for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it. Use two forks for easy shredding.
  6. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and add the tortellini, shredded cheese, and cream. Mix well.
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 30 minutes until tortellini are tender.
  8. Stir in the spinach and cook for another 10 minutes.
  9. Finally, add the Parmesan, adjust seasoning, and serve.
