Welcome to my 7th Annual Crocktober post!
Every October, I post one of my favorite Slow Cooker Recipes & declare it "Crock-tober" Last October I got an Instant Pot & used my Instant Pot for my Crocktober post and I haven't looked back. I have been using my Instant Pot instead of my Crock Pot for the past year and I am in love.
I am still calling it Crocktober because Instant Pot-ober doesn't have a ring to it like Crocktober does ;)
As a working mom, an Instant Pot (or Crock Pot) is a staple during the Fall & Winter months.
They make my life & dinner time so much easier!
On Friday, I posted 5 Reasons Why I love my Instant Pot.
You can read it HERE.
I am SO excited about today's recipe. It is a staple in our house & I've been making it for years.
I converted it from a Crock Pot recipe to an Instant Pot recipe.
(I will post the Crock Pot Recipe at the end of this post)

Turn to high on manual setting and cook for 15 minutes (if using chicken breasts, cook for 18 minutes)

When time is up, let it do a natural release for 10 minutes. If there steam left, do a manual release.
Open the lid.

Put the lid back on and you should be on "Keep Warm" Mode. Set the timer for 10 minutes.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Lxp6V9U9xnfvFi1wntfWqTIE0ZU1AV13RG1TUGqJhZRxd8-gwe6eA3qfcYuFgYOv9twoXejENvski4CYhI9chCzjQbUtUTk9vImrMJZqqa9OahfJQaU7E-tODRvXNHipMu1CuWNXagwY/s640/thumb_IMG_0144_1024.jpg)
Then it's ready to be served!
I always add some shredded Parmesan on top:

If you wanted to make this in your Crock Pot, you would add the frozen chicken, Italian seasonings, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, carrots, onion, celery & chicken broth to your slow cooker. You would cook on low for 6-7 hours or low for 3-4 hours.
Then you would shred the chicken, add the evaporated milk, tortellini & spinach & cook on low for another hour or high for another 30 minutes.
