Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom of your crockpot. Season them generously with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and minced garlic, ensuring an even coating.
  2. Carefully pour the creamy Alfredo sauce and chicken broth over the seasoned chicken in the crockpot.
  3. Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve, uncover the crockpot and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the pot.
  5. Gently stir in the refrigerated tortellini.
  6. Finally, stir in a generous handful of shredded Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
