Stir broth and cream into the flour mixture, bring to boil -constantly stirring. Remove from heat.

Remove chicken from the oven, stir pasta into the sauce and serve topped with crumbled bacon, more cheese, and parsley.

The sauce makes a lot and I have a purpose for that! I dump half the sauce on the chicken and freeze the other half. Then you can pull the sauce out at anytime, and place over chicken in a crock pot or bake it. Easy dinner ready to go!!
