Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 cups Olive Garden Italian Dressing
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded or shaved
- 8 ounces cream cheese (1 block)
- Ground black pepper to taste optional

Instructions
- Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or use a slow cooker liner.
- Put the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Make sure they are thawed.
- Pour the Olive Garden Italian dressing over the top.
- Sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top. Then cut up a block of cream cheese and distribute it around the meat.
- Put the lid on the crock pot and let it cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- About 20-30 minutes before you want to eat cook the pasta according to the package direction and drain.
- Take the lid off the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the chicken. It should fall apart without much effort.
- Stir to mix the cream cheese together with the shredded meat. Add the pasta and stir to combine.

Notes
- You can also keep the pasta separate and spoon the chicken out onto it as desired.
- If you want to make it look just like Olive Garden's dish use penne pasta.
