Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1- 16 oz bottle of Olive Garden Signature Italian Salad Dressing
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup pasta cooking water

  • ½ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts in the pot of your crockpot

  • Whisk the sauce left in the crockpot until smooth.
