3 cloves Garlic Using fresh yields the best aroma.

12 oz Tortellini Opt for fresh or refrigerated tortellini for better texture.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot, evenly spaced.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese and chicken broth until smooth. Pour over the chicken.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and herbs/spices. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 4 hours (5 hours for frozen chicken).
About 20-25 minutes before serving, add the tortellini and stir gently.
If the sauce is too thin, switch to high for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
Shred the chicken in the crockpot and mix with the sauce. Serve warm, optionally topped with Parmesan or basil.
