Olive Garden Crockpot Chicken Pasta

Course Dinner

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 4 hours hours 30 minutes minutes

Total Time 4 hours hours 40 minutes minutes

Servings 8

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 ½ pounds of chicken breasts boneless and skinless (about 3 breasts)
• ▢ ½ teaspoon ground pepper
• ▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ ⅓ cup shredded Parmigiano Cheese divided
• ▢ 2 cups Olive Garden Italian Dressing
• ▢ 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• ▢ 1 box 16 oz your favorite pasta I used Rotini Pasta

Instructions

• Unpack your chicken breasts and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and with a fork, poke each breast 3 to 4 times.
• Sprinkle pepper, garlic powder, and half of the shredded cheese.
• Gently pour the Olive Garden dressing over the chicken
• Sprinkle the remaining of the shredded cheese and add the cream cheese on top.
• Cover and cook on High for 4 ½ hours to 5 hours.
• Cook your pasta. Drain. Set aside. You may want to add a little bit of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) or butter, so it does not stick too much together.
• Once cooked, take the chicken out on a plate and shred the chicken using 2 forks.
• Place the chicken back into the slow cooker and mix well with the sauce. Mix until the chicken is all coated with the sauce.
• Add the cooked pasta and mix well until pasta and chicken are well coated.
• Keep warm until ready to serve

Notes

• Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days
• You can cook the chicken on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours and LOW for 6 to 8 hours
• You can freeze the chicken once shredded in safe freezer bags for up to 3 months
• You don’t need to add the pasta to the chicken. You can serve the chicken over rice, over pasta, you can also use it in a baked casserole, and it is excellent in a sandwich as leftovers.
