Crockpot Olive Garden Chicken Pasta
Description
This recipe starts by combining diced boneless chicken breasts with bottled Italian dressing, minced garlic, black pepper, and shredded parmesan cheese in a crockpot. The ingredients slow cook for several hours allowing the chicken to become tender and infuse the sauce with herb and cheese flavors.
In the final 30 minutes, cream cheese is added and stirred in to melt, thickening the sauce and adding richness. Separately, penne pasta is cooked according to package instructions. Just before serving, the cooked pasta is stirred into the crockpot mixture so the pasta absorbs the flavors and is coated in the creamy sauce.
The result is a warm, creamy pasta dish with tender chicken and a blend of Italian dressing and cheese seasoning notes. Using the crockpot simplifies the preparation and allows hands-off cooking, making it suitable for busy days.
