Tips, Tricks & FAQs
I don’t know that it’s SPICY if you’ve got a tolerance but it is zippy for sure! I added some red pepper flakes on top for fun and realized I probably didn’t need to! It does have a slight kick – but it’s not too much.
Yes – my friend Tasty Travelers has this Garlic Parm Chicken Pasta recipe for the Instant Pot!
Yes! Instead of placing ingredients in the slow cooker, place them in a baking dish. Bake at 350º for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is done. Remove the baking dish, shred the chicken and stir all ingredients together. Then add the cooked pasta and serve!
If you have leftover chicken (like a rotisserie chicken) – you could speed up the process and make the sauce on the stove top. Use a large skillet over medium high heat and add in all the sauce ingredients, then stir in the cooked chicken and pasta at the end.
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze up to three months. Reheating your pasta in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Garlic Parm Chicken Pasta Variations
- Veggies – add steamed veggies like broccoli or green beans or even a couple of cups of fresh spinach when you add in the pasta.
- Chicken Thighs – feel free to swap or combine breasts with boneless skinless chicken thighs if that’s what you have on hand
- Italian Dressing – substitute the B-Dubs sauce with Olive Garden Italian Dressing or any other Buffalo Wings & Rings sauce.
- Gluten Free – swap out the egg noodles with Gluten Free pasta like this chickpea pasta
- Keto – use low-carb pasta or use zucchini noodles
Other uses for B-Dubs Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- Wings – toss chicken wings in the sauce and air fry.
- Sausage & Potatoes – toss your sausage & potatoes in the sauce and bake with veggies
- Marinade – it’s a great marinade for air fryer chicken thighs as well.
