I love this dish! Some people cut the chicken breast up and mix with the pasta and Alfredo sauce but I like to grill my chicken and lay it right on top. I also love cream based sauces and Alfredo is on the top of my list. If there is someone in your family or someone you know who is allergic to wheat you can use eggs noodles, that’s really yummy also. This is a quick but filling meal and will surely satisfy the taste buds!

TERRIFIC recipe! You got another winner.
OMG! that looks delicious. This will be Sunday dinner… 🙂
looks delicious….. the chicken does not look like it was just grilled. how did you accomplish it looking like it is breaded. what is that on top of the chicken? i see the parsley, but looks like something else. no grill marks. whatever you did, looks like it will be delicious.
thanks
