Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Equipment

  • 6-quart Slow Cooker
  • Medium bowl
  • whisk
  • Forks

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, chicken broth, basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.
  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  6. Add the shredded chicken and the tortellini to the slow cooker, stirring to combine.
  7. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, or until the tortellini is heated through.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and let it melt for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, add the tortellini towards the end of the cooking time to ensure they maintain their signature bite. The key to achieving the perfect creamy texture is in the balance of cream to broth, as well as the addition of the cream of chicken soup.
