1.5 lbs frozen, boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or use thawed chicken breasts, if preferred)
3 1/2 cups alfredo sauce divided
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups refrigerated three cheese tortellini
Garnish: black pepper and parsley

Place the frozen, boneless, skinless chicken breast in the crockpot. Add 2 1/2 cups of warm Alfredo sauce.
Cover and cook on high for 6-8 hours, until fully cooked. Separate frozen chicken breasts that are stuck together after a couple of hours of cooking, if necessary. (If using thawed chicken breasts, cook on low for 4-6 hours)
Tear or cut the chicken into pieces.
Add 1 cup Alfredo sauce, minced garlic, black pepper and refrigerated three cheese tortellini. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes until tender and heated through.
Garnish with black pepper and parsley.

If using dried or frozen tortellini, partially cook it in boiling water, following the instructions on your package, before adding it to the slow cooker. It will finish cooking in the slow cooker. (Please refer to the Crockpot manual, page 12 for information regarding cooking frozen meat.)
