chicken alfredo pasta

I had this at a friend's house last Sunday and it was so delicious! I didn't take a picture of it...sorry!

3-4 chicken breasts (sliced)
2 jars favorite Alfredo Sauce (Bertolli's is good but I still prefer homemade)
1 jar (oil packed) sun dried tomatoes (DRAIN ON PAPER TOWEL BEFORE ADDING)
3-4 garlic cloves (minced)
3 shallots (diced)
1 package sliced mushrooms (optional)
1 package Fettuccini noodles (or you can use Penne if you prefer)
1 bag shredded parmesan
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh italian parsley

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

heat a large deep skillet with olive oil (about 4 tbsps) and saute the chicken on medium heat. Add shallots and garlic when chicken is cooked through. Add mushrooms and cook for about 8 minutes. Boil water for pasta and cook pasta according to directions on box then drain pasta and let it sit. Add Alfredo sauce, tomatoes, basil and parsley to chicken. Then add 3/4 package of parmesan and stir together. Take 9X13 pan and pour noodles first and then top with the chicken sauce and the rest of the cheese. Bake until bubbly.
