Kramer Crock Pot Chicken Tortellini Recipes

Steps:

• I like to practically"puree" the onions and celery in my chopper so my kids don't notice them, but you can always keep them bigger if you like.
• Place everything EXCEPT tortellini in your crock pot and cook on low all day (6-8 hours).
• Either cook tortellini according to package directions and mix in before serving, or place frozen tortellini in crock one hour before serving and turn it up to high setting, but stir gently often.
• Wonderful with green beans and cornbread.

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, whisk together the stock, wine and tomato paste until the paste dissolves. Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, oregano, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and salt. (If you are using unsalted stock, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt.) Add the chicken and stir to combine. Cook on low until the chicken is very tender and the flavors are blended, 5 to 6 hours.
• Increase the heat to high for 10 minutes. Coarsely shred the chicken with two forks, pressing pieces of chicken against the side of the slow cooker to break the thighs apart. Stir in the spinach so that it wilts into the soup.
• Stir in the tortellini, cover the slow cooker, and cook until the tortellini are al dente and warmed through, about 3 minutes. Taste the soup and add salt if it tastes flat. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with Parmesan, basil and black pepper.

Steps:

• Spray 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken breast in slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Top with mushrooms, then chicken broth.
• In medium bowl, mix Alfredo sauce and garlic. Pour over chicken and mushrooms. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 5 hours.
• Shred chicken with 2 forks. Add cheese tortellini and spinach to slow cooker; stir. Cover; cook about 10 minutes or until pasta is cooked.
• Top servings with Parmesan cheese, and enjoy.

Steps:

• Line a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with a Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner; set aside.
• Add the roasted peppers, broth, beans, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, celery, onions, olive oil, and garlic to the lined-slow cooker. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or rubber scrapper to combine.
• Cover and cook on high for 5 hours.
• Stir in Swiss chard and tortellini gently with a rubber spatula and cook 7 to 9 minutes more or until pasta is just al dente. Serve with Parmesan cheese and Parmesan Crisps, if desired.
• Parmesan Crisps: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with Reynolds® Parchment Paper. In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme or rosemary, and black pepper. Spoon the cheese mixture into 12 portions, 4 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Pat each cheese portion into a 5-inch circle. Bake 4 to 6 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Let stand on baking sheet until completely cooled. Carefully remove crisps from parchment paper.
