I am a huge fan of the Macaroni grill! Thank GOD I live over 100 miles from the closest one! LOL, but this recipie is as good as I remember the restaurant food. (No crayons on the tablecloth here) I followed the directions to a T, it made a ton as there is only 2 of us most times, and this is going into a GREATS file. Thanks so much for posting. It is easy and delicious.PS:I also used Kittencal's Perfect Carmelized Onions for this dish. I found this HAD to have the fresh grated parmesan to have the flavor of the Macaroni Grill. I dry grilled chicken strips for stir fry for this and cut them into bite sized pieces but found one pkg wasn't quite enough-I had some frozen grilled chicken I had purchased at Sam's Club for easy dinners and used some of that to fill the quota and it was superb. It added the extra something flavor. I will have this in rotation again soon.

Delicious! I've never had this at Macaroni Grill so I can't compare, but it is wonderful and easy! Thanks for sharing.

I just made this for dinner tonight complete with the copy cat recipe for Macaroni's rosemary bread. My family loved it!! This recipe is just like the restaurant. I actually used half and half instead of heavy cream, just because I am trying to watch my weight and I thought the recipe itself wasn't very diet friendly!! I also didn't use as much oil as it called for. I used about 1/4 cup of oil and about 2 tbsp of butter instead as I couldn't find butter flavored oil. This was a pretty easy recipe. You can do a lot of it ahead of time, and then just toss it all together when you're ready. I'm so happy to have found this recipe and will make this again for special occasions! I highly recommend it!!! Three of us ate tonight, and there is more than enough for another serving for everyone tomorrow. Now I don't have to go to the restaurant to have this yummy dish!! You MUST try this if you like the restaurant version!!! I really can't say enough good things about it!

I have never tried this dish at the Macaroni Grill, but I can certainly imagine a dish this delicious would be on their menu. I don't like mushrooms, so I replaced them with some chopped sun dried tomatoes. I didn't use precooked chicken or pasta. I cut chicken breasts in strips and sauteed them before starting on the rest of the recipe. As the chicken was sauting, I put water on to boil and cooked the pasta. Other than that, I followed the instructions on this recipe. Even without using precooked chicken, this was very quick to make. This has become one of my favorite pasta dishes. The flavors are undescribably delicious. Thanks for a wonderful recipe, Cooks4_6. This is going into my keeper file.
