How to make Olive Garden Chicken Pasta in the Crockpot:

• Add chicken breasts to the slow cooker.
• Pour over one 16-ounce jar of Olive Garden Italian Dressing (or any Italian dressing you have on hand.
• Shake over grated parmesan cheese and ground pepper. Add one block of cream cheese.

• Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or low for 5-6.
• Shred the chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker.
• Cook 16 ounces of pasta according to the package directions on the stove-top. I am using penne pasta for this recipe.

• Add the drained pasta to the slow cooker along with the sauce and shredded chicken, stir.
• Sprinkle over more parmesan cheese if desired. I also garnished with a touch of oregano and black pepper.

Can I serve this chicken with something other than pasta?

• Serve over rice.
• Or with steamed vegetables.

Must I use cream cheese?

You can leave it out or add a cup of heavy cream at the end of cooking time is desired. Though the sauce will be thinner.

Does this taste like chicken alfredo?
