Gathering the right ingredients is the first step toward culinary success. Here’s what you’ll need for the Crockpot Olive Garden Chicken Pasta:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet of Italian dressing mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
These ingredients are typically easy to find in your local grocery store. Feel free to use low-fat versions of the cream and cheese if you’re looking to lighten things up a bit!
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the crockpot and sprinkle with Italian dressing mix.
- Pour cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth over the chicken and stir gently.
- Cover and cook on low or high setting until chicken is tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, cook penne pasta according to package instructions, then drain.
- Shred the cooked chicken, then mix in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, followed by the cooked pasta.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Use low-fat cream and cheese for a lighter version.
