I have made this recipe and it is definitely a keeper!!! DELICIOUS!!!


8 slices of bacon (cooked)
4 large boneless skinless chicken breast halves Cooked and
cut into chunks.
1 box Penne pasta

Cook your chicken to your liking...grilled, pan sauteed,or baked...Cook pasta according to instructions on box. While pasta is cooking, saute tomatoes in olive oil with a little salt and pepper adding garlic towards the end.Cut up bacon in small pieces and fry bacon until crisp and drain on paper towel. Drain pasta and add cream cheese and chicken broth and stir gently until cream cheese is melted.Add cooked chicken, bacon and basil....
