Notes

One: Frozen or Dried Tortellini

If using dried or frozen tortellini, cook it according to the instructions on the package and then add it to the chicken alfredo before serving.

Two: Baked Tortellini Alfredo

Put the sauce and chicken breasts into a greased casserole dish. Bake at 350˚F for 50-60 minutes or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165˚F. Cook the tortellini in a large pot and drain. Shred the cooked chicken and add it to the tortellini along with the sauce.

Three: Stove Top

Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet and cook the tortellini in a pot of water. Drain the tortellini and heat the alfredo sauce into the pot. Dice the chicken and add it to the pot along with the cooked tortellini.

Four: Frozen Chicken Breasts

For frozen chicken breasts, thaw them beforehand or refer to your Crockpot manual for instructions on cooking frozen meat.

Five: Storage

Cool the leftovers and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
