Notes
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours to keep chicken moist; longer cooking can dry it out.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Frozen cheese tortellini can be added directly to the slow cooker without thawing.
- Serve with grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
