Description

Creamy, cozy, and unbelievably easy. This Crock Pot Olive Garden Chicken Pasta slow-cooks chicken with Olive Garden Garlic Parmesan dressing, cream cheese, and Parmesan for a velvety, zesty sauce that clings to every noodle. A hands-off, family-approved weeknight winner.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1.5–2 lbs)
  • 1 (16 oz) bottle Olive Garden Garlic Parmesan dressing
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lb pasta (penne, rotini, or favorite)
  • Optional garnishes: chopped parsley, extra Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Add chicken: Place chicken breasts in the Crock Pot.
  2. Pour dressing: Shake the bottle and pour the entire Olive Garden Garlic Parmesan dressing over the chicken.
  3. Add cheeses & pepper: Cube the cream cheese and place on top; add Parmesan and black pepper.
  4. Slow cook: Cook on LOW 4–6 hours or HIGH 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender.
  5. Shred: Shred chicken with two forks in the pot; stir until cheeses fully melt into a creamy sauce.
  6. Cook pasta: In the last 15–20 minutes, boil pasta to al dente. Drain and add to the Crock Pot.
  7. Mix & serve: Stir to combine. Garnish with parsley or extra Parmesan and serve warm.

Notes

  • Best texture: Use full-fat cream cheese and let it soften to prevent lumps.
  • Flavor boost: Use freshly grated Parmesan; add red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Add-ins: Stir in spinach, peas, or white beans during the last 30 minutes.
  • Avoid soggy pasta: Always cook pasta separately and add at the end.
  • Leftovers: Sauce thickens as it cools—loosen with a splash of milk or broth when reheating.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 4–6 hours (LOW) or 3–4 hours (HIGH)
