Very fresh tasting. I added some bell pepers, will definitely fix again. Just the right seasoning.

Just a couple of tweaks: I thought 1" cubes were a bit large - will make them 1/2" next time. ALSO - my 16 oz of angel hair pasta formed a huge glop which would not toss well with the chicken and veggies - I will only make 8 oz next time. OR, spoon the sauce over beds of the angel hair instead of tossing with the sauce. FURTHERMORE, cooking the bacon in the sauce just makes it soggy - just sprinkle over the top just before serving. ENJOY!

I didn't add the carrots and celery, but used asparagus instead. I followed the rest of the recipe and it turned out very good.

The flavor is delicious!!! I will use penne pasta and add mushrooms next time. The carrots and celery threw me off, probably leave them out next time. My whole family loved it...yummy!
