Creamy chicken pasta is the number one kid-approved meal in our house, along with mince and tatties! This slow cooker version of my Chicken Alfredo is just as popular and so, so easy!

I recently saw a recipe shared on Facebook for Crockpot Olive Garden Chicken Pasta using their Italian Dressing and I was instantly hooked! 

Turns out that Olive Garden Signature Italian Dressing is worth its weight in gold in the UK, so I set out to recreate the recipe using the spices and ingredients in the  dressing.

This is sort of my version of Crockpot Olive Garden Chicken and it is all kinds of yummy! My kids devoured the creamy chicken sauce with pasta while my husband and I enjoyed it over rice.

Here’s What You Will Need

  • Seasoning: garlic and onion powder, Italian herbs, chilli flakes, salt and pepper
  • Dijon mustard
  • Skinless chicken breasts or skinless chicken thighs
  • Full fat cream cheese – be warned, low fat cream cheese is likely to curdle and split!
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Noodles – I prefer to cook the pasta on the stove and stir it into the creamy sauce. Use ziti or any other dried pasta that holds on the sauce well
  • Flat leaf parsley, to garnish
