Olive Garden Chicken Pasta
I love chicken crockpot recipes, and let me just say this olive garden crockpot chicken could be used for so much more than just pasta. It would make an awesome dip or an amazing stuffing for crescent rolls, so don’t think of it just as pasta from Olive Garden. Think of it as an amazing-tasting chicken dinner.
Recipe Variations:
What To Serve with Olive Garden Pasta?
If you want the whole Olive Garden experience, make a side salad with Iceberg lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced red onion, black olives, pepperoncini, and Parmesan cheese. You can dress it with the same Olive Garden dressing or your favorite one. Soft breadsticks would seal the deal and make it really Olive Garden authentic.
Can I Cook Olive Garden Chicken On The Stovetop?
Yes, definitely. Cut the chicken into cubes or strips and brown them in a bit of olive oil. Once the chicken is brown, add the Olive Garden dressing, cream cheese cut into cubes, Parmesan cheese, paprika, and black pepper, reduce the heat, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the cream cheese is melted. Stir everything and add ½ – 1 cup of pasta cooking water until you get the desired consistency for the sauce. Stir in the cooked pasta and serve with toasted breadcrumbs on top.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
You have to store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply add a couple of tablespoons of water to the leftover pasta and microwave until hot. You can also freeze this pasta in a freezer bag for up to 4 months. To reheat, let it come to room temperature, add a splash of water, and microwave until hot.
