• 12 oz frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp chicken bouillon granules
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Creamy Sauce

• 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
• ½ cup milk
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

For Serving

• 20 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini (or frozen, thawed)

Tip: Use low-sodium soups and broth to control salt levels.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients

Dice the chicken and onion, mince the garlic, and measure your seasonings and soups.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.

3. Add Everything to the Crockpot

Transfer the sautéed mixture to your slow cooker. Add the chicken, frozen vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, bouillon, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined.

4. Slow Cook

Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

5. Add the Cheese and Tortellini

Thirty minutes before serving, stir in shredded cheddar cheese and tortellini. Mix well, cover again, and cook until the pasta is tender and the sauce thickens.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or extra cheese.

Serving Suggestions and Variations

Serving Ideas

• Pair with a slice of my easy double pie crust for that classic pot pie touch.
• Add a side of salad or garlic bread for a balanced meal.
• Try it with my chicken pot pie soup for a fun “duo dinner” night.

Variations

Variation	What to Try
Creamier Texture	Add 4 oz cream cheese during the last 30 minutes for extra richness.
Spicy Kick	Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Vegetarian Option	Swap chicken for extra veggies or chickpeas and use vegetable bouillon.

Tips for Success

• Add tortellini late: Pasta cooks quickly, so add it only near the end.
• Shred cheese yourself: Freshly shredded cheese melts smoother than pre-bagged.
• Thicken if needed: If the sauce seems thin, remove the lid and cook uncovered for 15 minutes.
