This is very delicious! My family loved it. The sauce is just wonderful. I did use angel hair this time, but next time I will use a thicker noodle. I always want to try angel hair, but I'm always disappointed - don't know why. Anyway, this is a wonderful meal and one I will make again. I doubled this recipe for my family of four. Thanks for sharing!

Your right, this is absolutely delicious! I used fettuccini instead of the angel hair, as I like the texture better for a dish like this. I made as directed and it resulted in an excellent tasting dish, and the sauce was great!

I was craving Italian and it was made even worse when I saw a commercial for Chicken Broccoli Alfredo so the rest is history. I found this recipe and we loved it. I cooked my chicken pieces in a little of olive oil and grated fresh garlic. I finished cooking the chicken in lemon juice. I used the sauce recipe as it was listed. I also used a thicker noodle. I was to tired today to make my spaghetti bread so I used frozen garlic bread. My husband hurt himself eating this!
