SMOKED CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• Soak wood chips in water for 30 minutes so they don't catch fire.
• Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Transfer soaked wood chips to an aluminum pan and cover with foil. Poke holes in the top so the smoke can escape. Place chicken, unstacked, onto wire racks. Place the racks into the smoker.

Pour wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add 1/2 cup butter to melt. Add cream and stir to combine.
• Pour the sauce into the empty pasta pot. Add Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses slowly until melted and combined. Heat over medium-low heat until thickened and reduced, 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Stir in mushrooms, bacon, and chicken. Add fettuccine and mix.
