  2. Carefully transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to your crockpot. Add 1 pound of cubed chicken breasts, 3 cups of frozen mixed vegetables, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of cream of chicken soup, and 1 cup of milk.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon granules, 1 teaspoon of paprika, salt and pepper to taste, ensuring everything is well combined.
  4. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on Low for 6-7 hours or on High for 3-4 hours.
  5. Thirty minutes before serving, open the lid and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups of cheese tortellini, mixing gently.
  6. Recover the crockpot and let it cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, ladle the Crockpot Cheddar Chicken Pot Pie Tortellini into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or additional cheese.
