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.
