This creamy Crockpot Chicken Alfredo Tortellini combines rich Alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and pillowy tortellini for a satisfying comfort food meal that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 16 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs into the bottom of your Crockpot. Season them with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the seasoned chicken, followed by the heavy cream.
  3. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the top of the chicken and liquids.
  4. Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. Remove the chicken from the Crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  6. Add the softened cream cheese and grated Parmesan to the Crockpot. Stir until they melt into the sauce.
  7. Stir in the refrigerated cheese tortellini, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the sauce.
  8. Cover and cook on high for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender.
  9. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish before serving.

Notes

[“Fresh garlic adds a depth of flavor that pre-minced garlic can’t replicate.”, ‘Check the tortellini for doneness after 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.’, “Shred the chicken while it’s still warm for easier handling.”, ‘Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and flavor.’, ‘Taste the sauce before adding more salt, as Parmesan and chicken broth are naturally salty.’]
