    I thrive in cold, gray, rainy weather. Spring and summer are miserable for me. I have terrible allergies and absolutely hate being hot and sweaty. I get heat rashes and sun poisoning if I’m outside for too long thanks to super-sensitive skin. I’m miserable once it heats up outside and can’t wait for all of the rain fall brings with it. My husband is the same way, so we love the mountains and big cities for vacations—loathe the beach.
    I can’t wait to try this recipe this weekend.

    I use more of the dressing and cheese to make more sauce in crock pot over 2 chicken breasts. Cook 4-5 hrs, shred chicken and then serve over angel hair pasta. Add bread and it’s a pasta meal.

    1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
    24 oz Olive Garden Italian Dressing

      You could make a slurry with cornstarch & a little water then stir it in about 30 minutes before serving. That should thicken the sauce.

      Anytime I have a recipe that does that I take the top off my crock pot and let it cook like that. It will thicken up the sauce.

    This is so delish! I’m a little surprised. The Olive Garden Dressing makes all the difference. I used the parm cheese in the can, but topped each piece of chicken off with some shredded parm at the end. I also used thighs as I prefer them in the crockpot. I served with roasted broccoli . Good dinner.
