Instructions

Place chicken, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, herbs, and broth in the crockpot. Stir gently.
Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
Remove chicken, shred with forks, and return to the crockpot.
Add tortellini and cook on HIGH for 15–20 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
Stir in baby spinach just before serving, if using. Let it wilt.
Serve hot with freshly grated parmesan and optional red pepper flakes.

Notes

Add tortellini at the end to avoid overcooking. To make it creamier, stir in 1/2 cup of cream before serving. Use chicken thighs for extra rich flavor.
