Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons garlic minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
15 ounces alfredo sauce
1 cup parmesan cheese finely grated
4 ounces cream cheese cubed
2 cups broccoli florets
19 ounces frozen cheese tortellini

Instructions

Add the chicken to the slow cooker, then top with garlic, black pepper, Italian seasoning, alfredo sauce, parmesan cheese, and cream cheese.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.
Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Then add shredded chicken, broccoli, and tortellini into the slow cooker. Toss to coat and cook for 20 minutes.

Notes

Use frozen tortellini and add it during the final cooking stage for the best texture.
Shred the chicken while it's still warm so it mixes easily into the creamy sauce.
Freshly grated Parmesan melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese and helps create a creamier sauce.
Add the broccoli at the end of cooking so it stays bright, tender, and not overcooked.
