Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 16 oz Cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened and cubed
• 1 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 cups Spinach (fresh, chopped)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.

Step 2

Add the chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.

Step 3

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 5

Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, and shredded Parmesan cheese to the crock pot. Stir until the cheeses are melted and well incorporated into the broth.

Step 6

Add the fresh or frozen cheese tortellini to the pot and stir to combine. Cover the crock pot and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, or until the tortellini are cooked through and tender.

Step 7

Gently stir in the chopped fresh spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Serve hot, optionally garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
