Ingredients

Scale
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast (about 4 medium breasts)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion granules
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

  2. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Add the marinara sauce, garlic powder, onion granules, Italian seasoning mix, paprika, red chili flakes, and chicken broth. Make sure the chicken is completely submerged in liquid.
  4. Cook on LOW for 4 hours or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  6. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, then add the tortellini, shredded mozzarella cheese, and heavy cream. Stir well to combine and cover the tortellini with liquid.
