Bowtie Chicken Alfredo with Mushrooms

One of my friends posted this recipe on her blog a few months back and I had to try it out on my little family! I have several picky eaters at my home but getting them to eat this dish doesn't cause any fights at our dinner table. This dish is sure to become a favorite at your house, even if you have picky eaters in your home like I do! My kids love the fun bowtie- shaped- pasta and the seasoned chicken and sauteed mushrooms. I also love the sauteed mushrooms and the Alfredo sauce is to die for. I love this recipe because you can make it in about 30 minutes. It is very easy to make and would be a wonderful dish to serve if you are entertaining friends or family. I like to serve mine with toasted garlic bread! Enjoy!
