This dish came about because of pre seasoned chicken I had in the freezer, & needed to make something for dinner that wasn't too time consuming. Using the veggies and ingredients I had on hand this is what the finished dish looked like. The aroma when combined with the other ingredients made the house smell so wonderful. I created this dish in my 16 inch skillet but you could use a pot as well. It was so flavorful and had all the ingredients needed to make a completely satisfying meal. We truly enjoyed the cheesy gooey goodness, and the sauce created from the cream & Alfredo sauce.

Step 1

These are some of the main ingredients used in this dish.

Bring a large pot of water to boil, and add about 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon salt, and cook pasta according to package directions for Al Dente. Mine took about 10 minutes.
Step 3

Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium high heat, then add the seasoned chicken breasts, and cook until browned on all sides. Then remove from skillet to a large platter.
Step 4

Add the assorted veggies to skillet and cook until crisp tender.
Step 5

Then add chicken pieces back to skillet and continue to cook.
Step 6

Pour in the pasta, and stir to blend with other ingredients. Add in the seasoning & continue to cook over medium low heat. Pour in the heavy whipping cream around the outer perimeter of the skillet and continue to cook over medium low heat.
Step 7

Now pour in the Alfredo sauce over the top of the chicken pieces, and top with the shredded cheese. Cover with lid and allow to heat through till cheese melts on top. Turn off heat, and serve while still hot. Top with chopped chive or parsley if desired.
