  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cup baby spinach
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

7. 7. Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the mozzarella cheese, heavy cream, and baby spinach. Cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the spinach is wilted.

8. 8. Finish: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Serve the CrockPot Chicken Tortellini warm and enjoy!

Notes

To ensure your CrockPot Chicken Tortellini turns out perfectly every time, consider these helpful tips and tricks:

– Allowing the chicken to cook low and slow in the slow cooker ensures it becomes deliciously tender and easy to shred.

– Adding the tortellini towards the end of the cooking time prevents them from becoming mushy or falling apart.

– Feel free to adjust the amount of red chili flakes to suit your family’s preferences, adding more for a spicier dish or less for a milder flavor.

– This CrockPot Chicken Tortellini can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave when ready to serve.
