Olive Garden Crockpot Chicken Pasta
Crockpot Olive Garden Chicken Pasta is the easiest slow cooker recipe! This dump-and-go dinner makes the most flavorful, tender chicken in a rich, creamy pasta.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 16 oz Olive Garden salad dressing
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 12 oz penne pasta
Instructions
- Add chicken breasts to a slow cooker. Cover with salad dressing.
- Set slow cooker to low for 8 hours.
- When cooking is finished, shred the chicken with two forks. Add cream cheese and stir in until blended.
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Add to chicken mixture and stir well.
Notes
- This pasta should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy it within 3-4 days of originally cooking your meal.
- This dish makes a great freezer meal. Skip the pasta and freeze your creamy chicken sauce in a large freezer bag for up to 6 months after originally making it.
- Mixing the pasta into the creamy chicken sauce is totally optional. If you'd rather serve the chicken mixture over something like rice or mashed potatoes, just skip the pasta!
- After refrigerating, the sauce in this pasta can become a little thick. If this happens, just add some chicken broth or chicken stock to your pasta and stir well to thin the sauce.
- You can use frozen chicken if needed - no need to adjust the cooking time on the Crock Pot!
