Don’t over shred the chicken: You want there to be pieces of chicken with your pasta, so be careful not to shred the chicken so much that it disappears into the sauce.
Storing. Store leftover Olive Garden Chicken Pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat using the microwave.
Important tip: I received feedback from a few readers that their dish turned out a little too salty or too tangy, that’s because they used OG’s store-bought salad dressing. It can be too salty for some people, in this case, I recommend making your own homemade salad dressing and I have the recipe for you! All you need is just a few simple ingredients, and 5 minutes of your time to make it.
