Crockpot Chicken Vegetable Tortellini Stew

Recipe #301381 | ½ day | 10 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: LexingtonMom

A fresh and savory mix of flavors. This is a nice weeknight dinner--I prep the ingredients the night before, then turn into crockpot before leaving for work. Frozen chicken doesn't need to be defrosted ahead of time. Don't forget to sprinkle parmesan on top--it's a crucial last step!

    This was good. I did add 1 cup more water. Next time I think I will double the water and chicken buillon. I like brooth. Although I loved all the meat the stew was a bit dry for my taste. My husband also said he would like to try it without the beans and parmesan. I will come back and let you know how I like it with the changes someday soon. Oh, one more thing, it's better the second day and it freezes well.
