Bacon Chicken Alfredo

Categories Easy Recipes, Main Course

This bacon chicken Alfredo is a fun twist on the classic. It’s filled with lots of delicious flavors and is easy to make. The Alfredo sauce is creamy and filled with garlic cheesy deliciousness. The chicken is juicy and the bacon takes the whole dish to another level.

I love using bacon crumbles in my recipes. I buy the big bag of them and keep them in my fridge to use in recipes like this. You can also cook your own bacon and add it to this dish and that of course tastes amazing too. You really can’t go wrong with bacon.

This Alfredo sauce can be made gluten free by substituting the flour for 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water mixed together and then whisked into the sauce then brought to a boil until sauce thickens.
