This week I have been so busy, with guests and with one of the kids poorly, I haven’t wanted to make anything too complicated. So I decided to make this chicken Alfredo garlic bread. It was a huge hit with the kids and my husband really enjoyed it. He didn’t believe me when I said it took me 20 minutes to make this. Which is why I love this recipe so much. The kids were full and happy, hubby happy and I was relaxed.
