Super, fantastic and mouthwatering! I made it like the recipe said (without the bacon) first then made it again with my adjustments (again without the bacon). I used 1 cup skim milk and 1 cup heavy cream to lighten it a bit... I added the sundried tomatoes right away to milk/cream mixture and brought to a low boil. I upped the asiago cheese to 1 1/2 cups. I omitted the butter and sauteed one pound of sliced mushrooms with the onions and three times the amount of garlic, adding 1 tsp of cayenne pepper and 2 tsp of black pepper. I added 1/2 cup of fresh chopped parsley... Then last but not least -- I didn't have bowtie pasta the second time I made this, so I used three cheese tortallini and it was MORE than a hit. Some people even suggested it was better than a few of the Italian restaurants! I will be making this a third time without the chicken for a few of my vegetarian friends. Overall -- this recipe is fantastic -- I really loved it -- thank you for providing it!

This won rave reviews from my husband and friends. Great dish! I did use half and half rather than cream and substituted pancetta for the bacon. It was delish!

this was great and my picky husband loved it. make sure to cut the tomatoes into small pieces (mine were too big). i actually didnt have asiago so i left that out, and i used left over alfredo sauce that worked great instead of the the creams. i also added a lot of cayenne to spice it up..great recipe!

Definately use half and half instead of cream. I thought this recipe had too many onions and would omit the red onions next time. I also didn't taste the bacon much. The sun-dried tomatoes did give a great taste and over-all this was a "keeper".

OMG!this was amazing...a huge dish if there is only 2 of you, but leftovers are still wonderful. MADE 3 changes, used HALf& Half instead of cream, use lots more cheese (pre-mixed asiago,romano,parm mix from walmart for $1.86/bag...) and sauted onions,garlic and such with butter but added 2 tbsp white cooking wine.(really good) This dish knocked our socks off!!! with an Italian husband,it reminded him of his true roots!!! thanks!!!! happy cooking

My family and friends beg for this dish. I personally omit the red onion as I think it is too strong ad over powers some of the other flavors. I also follow the other suggestions of adding a lot more asiago to get that flavor. I have found that this can be a very speedy recipe if you buy precooked bacon and chicken (like you would put in a salad). Ultimately this is one of the top ten recipies in my home.

Very good. I made this tonight for dinner. I subed the heavy cream for half-and-half like other reviewers and I did not have any asiago cheese so I used fresh parmesan instead. Still turned out great! My picky husband even went back for seconds! Thanks for sharing your recipe!:)

YUMMY! I made this last night and I cant wait to eat some leftovers. I have to say my Mom was not all that impressed i think because of the strong taste of the sun dried tomatoes. But for me and my hubby 5+ stars on this one. I agree you should use a penne pasta i tried bowtie (was all I had on hand) soaked up too much of the wonderful sauce. Thanks.

Pretty good. Not lying when they say this is rich....I tweaked it a bit, used about 3/4 cup fresh parmessean cheese. Also instead of using grilled chicken, I used costco's chicken in a can, which was pretty good. Overall I would make this again....

5 stars for this one- -if you're into Heart Smart foods, this one is not for you. But, if you want to serve up a deeply satisfying meal that even your kids will just love, here it is. Because you’re cooking with cream, do all the prep prior to starting. Just have it all laid out before you start, so you can move right along. I found the recommended amount of Asiago cheese so small I just couldn’t take it seriously. So I had a good time adding shredded cheese—probably about a ½ cup. Frankly, it probably didn’t much matter. The flavor here is really about the mix of the Sun Dried Tomatoes and the cream. I made no substitutions other than Parmesan (because I had it) for the Asiago…and it worked beautifully. Grilling the chicken is a very nice touch, by the way. The sun-dried tomatoes we used were packed in oil—the oil deepens the flavor, too (I know, I know…there isn’t enough FAT in this recipe as it is?). My wife and I ate it as is, for my son I added some thin ribbon pasta to put it on—he’s 13, and it was inhaled. Notice the little touches that you might want to substitute around, like say, yellow onions, instead of red, or maybe skip the green onions? Honestly, you can, but, this is an extremely well thought out recipe, my strong recommendation is that you go with it right down the line. I will next time, right down to the Asiago in the one-tablespoon amount. Honestly, this one is that good.

DELICIOUS! I didn't want this to be too dense so I used half and half in place of the heavy cream and increased the Asiago to 3/4 c. I followed another reviewers suggestion to add the sundried tomotoes from the start to allow them to soften up, so glad I did. Other than that, I didn't have a red onion on hand so I used shallots and sauted that in 2 tblsp of olive oil rather than butter. I also threw in about 1/2 c. of pine nuts w/ the garlic and shallots, omitted green onions and used 1/4 c. chopped fresh basil. I used Penne pasta and toppped w/ parsley and feta cheese. My new favorite dish! Thank you so much Michelle, for sharing such a wonderful recipe!

This is good stuff...let me start off by saying that. This is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY good, sinful, fattening, luscious, heavenly stuff. Yum! Okay, onto the review...I halved the recipe, and since I didn't have butter I used the bit of bacon grease that was left in the pan after I fried it. Instead of just asiago cheese, I tossed in a little Stilton that I had in the fridge, and lacking cream, I just put in some sour cream before it was done cooking. I didn't have any pasta (quelle horreur!) so I served this with rice instead. I can't wait to make t again. Thanks for sharing!
