I would make this again, but use less chicken broth, more freshly grated parmesan cheese, make a roux with bacon grease and as always with me, use more garlic. I used an entire bulb of garlic I had roasted previously. I also recommend adding broccoli florets. I also substituted rigatoni pasta because I just felt like having a more substanital pasta and it worked well. It also needed more salt in my opinion.

This was very good. My son cleaned his plate. I turned the heat up a little higher and watched it carefully after a half hour and saw it start to thicken quickly. Just read the nutrition info - will try again with half and half and spinach.

Ok in my opinion. But daughter and husband really liked it.

good and easy meal. i, too, used half and half instead of heavy cream, and did a roux to start, even so the sauce was a little runny, but really it was fine once it's all together with the chicken, peas, and noodles. it makes a whole lot of sauce so i served the sauce and noodles separately, and have lots of sauce for another meal. will be great with shrimp too! much better than jarred alfredo sauce.

Really good but due to the previous reviews of thin sauce I made adjustments but kept the ingredients the same. I rendered the bacon in a pan and set aside on towel, reserving a few (4-5) tablespoons of bacon grease whisked in 2 tablespoons flour and whisked for 30 seconds. Added 1 1/2 cup chicken broth and simmered for 2-3 minutes until thick, added 2 cups half and half and the chicken and simmered for 10 minutes and added the peas and the cheese, crumbled bacon, and salt, pepper and garlic powder. Very good, thick sauce.

I skipped the bacon and added garlic powder to my sauce, a dash of paprika, salt, pepper. I knew it wouldn't be as thick since I used half & half so I mixed some cornstarch with broth to thicken... Pretty easy and I only simmered my sauce about 30 min. :)

Made this for dinner last night, left out bacon (dh) and peas (ds) and it turned out great. Will definitely make again. Will also make for myself with bacon. Want to try adding brocolli to it next time. Thanks for sharing!!

Very quick and easy as the title states. I too had trouble with the sauce thickening up as other reviewers mentioned but it was easily fixed with some flour and extra parmesan. Fast, easy, and flavorable for those times you don't have much time to spare. Mushrooms would be a nice addition for next time...just a thought.
