Crock Pot Chicken Vegetable Tortellini Stew

A fresh and savory mix of flavors. this is a nice weeknight dinner--i prep the ingredients the night before, then turn into crock pot 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! **after reading 1st review and making this again i was reminded that i normally do add more water than the original recipe called for, so i have updated amounts below!**

Steps

Chop carrots , celery , and garlic.
Drain and rinse white beans.
Layer in crock pot: carrots , garlic , chicken , celery , and beans.
