What to serve with slow cooker olive garden chicken alfredo pasta recipe?
Keep it simple! We like to serve this with a side salad. I think a light salad balances the cream sauce perfectly.
The alfredo sauce is so delicious so you will want something to dip into that sauce. We love Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe and it is perfect for getting every last bit of that amazing sauce.
No worries if you don’t have time to make the bread. You can pick up a loaf at the bakery or grocery store and it will be just as amazing.
You could also try Roasted Green Beans or learn how to steam broccoli in the microwave for a super easy veggie side dish.
Just keep it simple!
Crock pot olive garden chicken alfredo pasta substitution ideas:
You can use chicken thighs in place of the chicken breasts or even a mix of both. The recipe will still be amazing.
Try using other types of pasta such as bow tie, elbow or shells. Any type of pasta works great!
We are big fans of using what we have or can grab on sale at the grocery store. By cooking like this, it really helps me to save money on groceries.
It is a huge help to our budget. I cut our grocery bill by 50% off by following these 8 Tips for for Saving Money on Groceries by Menu Planning!
Save that money for something else! You can use shrimp and that would be amazing as well.
Another idea is to add broccoli to the the crock pot 30 minutes before it is finished cooking. This is a great way to bulk up the meal and help stretch the meat.

Crystal D Henry says
Can you substitute regular italian dressing?
Carrie says
Yes, you can. Thanks!
DeJuana says
Ooops. I should have read it all the way first. I put the cream cheese in with the rest. Hope it still turns out okay.
Carrie says
I might curdle a bit – I would watch is closely and you may need to whisk it in real good at the end if the cream cheese separates some. Let us know how it turns out!
Sandra says
Can I cook this on Low for 8hrs
Carrie says
Yes – That will work great!
Tiney says
Has any one added veggies too it? If so which ones do you recommend??
Carrie says
I haven’t yet but I think that would be delicious. I think broccoli would tastes great but just add it in the for the last 15-20 minutes of the cook time so that it doesn’t over cook. Thanks!
Patty says
Love olive garden and pasta. This was amazing. Thank you Carrie.
Linda says
This is my husband’s favorite dish at Olive Garden and this recipe didn’t disappoint. He said it tasted just like it does at the restaurant! Will definitely be making this again! Thank you so much!
Marilyn Kay Ellison says
Crock pot shrimp scampi is another one of my favorites! I love the shrimp with the creamy sauce over the shrimp with pasta. The mozzarella cheese gives the sauce such a great flavor & texture. This meal is so easy because it does not require very many ingredients. Add a baby greens salad that includes cranraisins, mandarin oranges, & toasted almonds with homemade honey mustard dressing & you have a fantastic meal!
Doris Boucher says
I had to cut the recipe in half as it’s just my husband and I, but it was delicious! We both loved it. And I will make it again.
Shirley says
Can you use the parmesan cheese that comes in the container?
Carrie says
Yes, that will work great in this recipe.
Summer says
Has anyone doubled this? If so how was it? Would like to make this for 10 or so? ?
Carrie says
I haven’t doubled it yet. I think you would just need to make sure that your crock pot is big enough to hold all the ingredients and if so, you should be fine to double the recipe.
Erika says
Yummy!
Bethany says
Hands down my familie’s favorite!
Elaine S Henricksen says
hands down one of the best alfredo’s ii have made, my mother hates alfredo but she loves this!!
Mindy says
So simple to make and quite flavorful! Plus super convenient since I always have OG dressing on hand for salads anyway.
Lindsey says
This was the very first recipe I made. It was delicious and easy to make. The only reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 is bc I felt is was a little too tangy for me. So when I make this again, I’ll use just a little less of the dressing.
Valerie says
Can you use frozen chicken breast and shred them instead of cubes?
Mindy says
I have several recipes that allow the pasta to be cooked in the Crock-Pot, not separately…. Does anyone think that would work with this dish as well???
Mindy says
I have doubled this recipe and yes all is still as good!!!! I use my 6.5qt and she’s full!!!! (After the pasta or course)
Carrie says
Yes, you definitely can do that.
Sonya says
Just made this recently and it was a hit with my family! So good and easy!
Karina says
Can you make this on the instapot? If so what are the times?
Carrie says
Yes, I would add 2-3 cups of chicken broth, then cook on high pressure for 23-25 minutes with a quick release. Then stir in the cream cheese, melt on the sauté setting. Then add in uncooked pasta, seal and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes with a quick release.
Ed says
Do you think pan seared chicken breasts would elevate this dish or just leave alone
Carrie says
I do think that searing the chicken before adding it to the crock pot would add flavor to the chicken in this recipe, but I made it without doing that and it was still delicious!
