I haven’t been to Olive Garden in awhile, so I figured why not bring it home with this recipe. Yes, this is the same dish that has been featured in there recent commercials. From what I hear, this dish is on point ! I just got back from the grocery store, so I’ll be back later with an update.

Serves 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups & 1 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp pepper
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 Tbsp roasted garlic, minced
1 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
5 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb linguine
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup roma tomatoes, cored & diced
2 Tbsp parsley, chopped

Potato Crust
1 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 small potato, peeled & grated
Salt & pepper to taste

Procedures
MIX all ingredients for Potato Crust in a bowl and set aside.
MIX 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess. Heat 3 Tbsp oil in a large skillet. Cook chicken breasts 2 at a time over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp, or until internal temperature reaches 165� F. Add more oil for each batch as necessary.

PLACE cooked chicken breasts on a baking sheet or dish and top with potato crust mixture. Transfer baking sheet to a pre-heated broiler until golden brown (1-2 minutes).

COOK pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

HEAT 2 Tbsp oil in a sauce pan. Add roasted garlic, cook for 1 minute. Stir in 1 Tbsp of flour and wine and bring to a boil. Add cream, parmesan cheese, 1 Tbsp parsley, and tomatoes. Sauce is done when it is bubbling throughout and begins to thicken.

COAT pasta with sauce, then top with chicken and remaining sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley

On July 2nd, 2007 SVEN Said:

THE CHICKEN DISH WAS GOOD,,,,HOWEVER, TRY GETTING RID OF THE CREAM AND SUBSTITUTING WITH CHICKEN STOCK, A LITTLE LIGHTER

On August 1st, 2007 Darryl Coleman Said:

Olive oil - can you substitute grape seed oil??? Also substitute half and half for the heavy cream? I love these recipes, but need to make them a little lighter.

On August 19th, 2007 Ree Said:

In the intro email the chicken is said to be marinated in olive oil & rosemary but in the recipe it doesn’t mention marinating or include rosemary in the ingredients. Should they be marinated? What are the quantities of the olive oil & rosemary & for how long? I’d really like to try this recipe & want it to turn out right.

On August 19th, 2007 ChefTom Said:

The recipe as listed above is correct. There is no rosemary or marination required in this recipe. Enjoy !

On April 7th, 2008 Louise Said:

sounds like a good recipe. I’m looking for an easy inexpensive copycat recipe for Olive Garden’s “Seafood Porotfino” anyone out there that might have made this, please share your recipe with me. Thanks!! Louise from northern Maine

On April 16th, 2008 Robert Said:

This was OK, but I felt like the chicken was too salty… and I’m one that likes a lot of salt. Next time I am going to reduce the 1 tablespoon of salt in the flour mixture to 1 teaspoon. I used salted butter in the Potato Crust and I think that was enough.

It didn’t have much flavor, so I will also increase the 1tsp garlic in the Potato Crust to about a tablespoon… a little less. I will increase the Italian seasoning from one tablespoon to 2 tablespoons in the flour mixture. I might add a small amount of Italian seasoning to the Potato Crust as well.

I really liked the texture, but it seemed a little bland… maybe overpowered by the salt. I’m now thinking about onion, but maybe that wouldn’t add just a hint of flavor but change the taste.

I will say, as with any bread crumb toppings, don’t burn it. I overbrowned one that was the ‘extra’ while we were eating. It just looked a little over cooked, but it caused a bad flavor.

On May 6th, 2008 NJ Said:

It sounds great …I will give it a go soon!

On May 12th, 2008 dave Said:

Dude: Highlight what you want on the recipe and then hit the edit button,on edit hit copy, go back to your email page, hit copy again then hit paste in the body of the new message area. Then go to Messages then click on new messages. the recipe will print anything you highlighted. From there fill in your subject line with recipe name and and to line with your own email address and then hit send. It will come back to you in just a few minutes exactly like you highlighted. Works like a champ. Promise.

To publish just the pages you want click “file”, then “print”. When print menu comes up click print pages and put the page numbers you want to print. For this recipe I printed pages 1 & 2. The recipe looks great. Will try soon.

On August 27th, 2008 Budget Said:

Sady: Would you be permitted to try this recipe since the alcohol would cook off when preparing the recipe? There should be no residual alcohol left in the dish. Perhaps it is possible?

On August 28th, 2008 LaLonne Said:

Can this site make a special place to just post “Thank you”s? And leave the “Comments on The Recipes” JUST for people who have actually TRIED the recipe? It’s annoying to have to scroll through a million “Thank you”s, and “I’m *going* to try it”s to just find out what the people who HAVE tried the recipe thought. Thanks.
