"Perhaps the biggest sell that wins most of us over is the promise of endless breadsticks and salad - a duo that's one of our favorite non-pasta items at Olive Garden. The restaurant itself has capitalized on the success of its salad in particular, bottling and selling its famous Italian dressing. As it turns out, however, Olive Garden's Signature Italian Dressing isn't just meant for salad."
"In a TikTok video, Valerie Rogers (@vrogers17) makes a flavorful chicken pasta recipe in the slow cooker using chicken thighs, a bottle of Olive Garden's salad dressing, and a block of cream cheese. She layers the chicken into the crockpot, adds seasonings, pours in the bottle of salad dressing, and tops it off with a block of cream cheese. After four hours on a high setting, she shreds the tender chicken and adds a generous portion of shredded parmesan cheese, all before adding boiled and drained pasta into the mix."
Olive Garden's bottled Signature Italian Dressing offers a rich, creamy, and zesty flavor that works beyond salads. A TikTok recipe combines chicken thighs, a bottle of the dressing, and a block of cream cheese in a slow cooker to create a tender, shredded chicken pasta finished with shredded parmesan and boiled pasta. The slow-cooker method requires about four hours on high, producing shreddable chicken. A stovetop one-pot alternative involves searing the chicken, simmering with the dressing, removing the meat to make a sauce from the juices, then adding cream cheese and pasta to finish.
