Hi friends!<\/p>\n

This Slow Cooker Pesto Chicken Tortellini was originally going to just be a recipe in my upcoming ebook, but I love it so much I decided to share it here on the blog! I’ve made it at least 4 times since I first tested it for the ebook. My husband and kids all love it and I consider that a major win around here.<\/p>\n

And it really couldn’t be easier. It’s just chicken breasts cooked in the crockpot with some broth, pesto, onions and red peppers. For the last 15 minutes, you throw in the tortellini and then just stir in some cheese and serve. Added bonus, you can prep this ahead of time for the freezer. Just throw everything in a ziploc\u00a0bag and put it in the freezer (be sure to freeze the tortellini in a separate bag) and then thaw in the fridge and cook when ready. Perfect gift for new mamas too!<\/p>\n

You could easily throw in some extra veggies if you wanted to and use your favorite brand of tortellini.\u00a0 It’s also easy to halve this recipe using a 9oz package of tortellini and 1 large chicken breast. I haven’t tried it, but you could also cook this in your Instant pot. Just cook on manual for 12 minutes or so, then switch to saute and add the tortellini to cook for a few minutes.<\/p>\n
