Copycat Olive Garden Angry Alfredo

The Olive Garden Angry Alfredo dipping sauce is a new appetizer you can get from the Olive Garden. The version served at my local restaurant was served with grilled chicken.

I have a confession to make to you, hands down the Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant. I know, we all have our guilty pleasures, and for me the Olive Garden and their irresistible Alfredo sauce is my kryptonite. Honestly, it is how my journey in copycat recipes began. I lived in the country in East Texas, and when we went into Houston for a meal out, I tasted Alfredo sauce for the first time, and I had to recreate this recipe.

So when their appetizer menu featured a new recipe for the Angry Alfredo sauce, well I had to give it a try. Needless to say, I was hooked. What made this recipe really good was the sauce was creamy and filled with all sorts of grilled chicken. For my low carb and keto friends, this is the appetizer you can enjoy at the Olive Garden.

The grilled chicken was grilled, if you can't grill your chicken, you can pan sear it and it will work just fine. I know all of us can not grill all year around. I find that if you can't grill the chicken if you sear it in an iron skillet pan your result will be wonderfully browned chicken.

The ingredients for this recipe are very straightforward. This is really a combination of their famous alfredo sauce with some hot chili pepper and some grilled chicken. They serve this with some lightly toasted baguette. You will also need some Parmesan, cream, butter, chicken, and mozzarella cheese.
