    This recipe is a hot mess. Where to start? There are so many things awry here. First, relying on full-fat heavy cream as the base of the flavor profile is just wrong, not to mention unhealthy. Second, sauteed onions and garlic, plus a pinch of salt and pepper, do not provide anywhere enough flavor to partner with the richness of the cream. Third, shredded chicken, when added to the cream, makes this an unappealing mess, not to mention the fact that shredded meat is simply the wrong texture for this dish. I added twice the cream used fat free half-n-half as 2 cups wasn't nearly enough to go with the chicken. Added oregano, basil onion powder, garlic powder, more salt and pepper, just to make this palatable. When finished, the flavors were good but the texture was really off--would recommend grilling the chicken then dicing/cubing it instead. All in all, this is not a good base alfredo sauce recipe to jump off from, find something with actual flavor.

    Chicken Alfredo With Crispy Bacon Paula Deen, A recipe that I thought sounded delicious from Paula Deen’s Comfort Food Magazine. Posting for safe keeping. Update 10/17/2013: Made this for DH and myself, so I made 1/3 of the recipe, but still made 2 pieces of bacon will even make more next time and I added some additional heavy cream as we like it creamy. We loved the addition of the bacon, onion and garlic to the normal Chicken Alfredo, DH even went back for seconds., This recipe is a hot mess. Where to start? There are so many things awry here.
