Wok's For Dinner: Chicken Angel Hair Pasta

I ended up working late tonight (seems to be a reoccurring theme lately), so hubs tried his best to get started on supper to help me out. So sweet! How I love him so. :) I do not use Alfredo sauce in my recipe, but hubs pulled it out of the cupboard, so I took the hint that he wanted the Alfredo sauce. Not a problem. It's a very rare treat that I make anything with Alfredo, so I didn't put up a fuss and allowed it for this meal, especially considering that my hubbie pulled all the ingredients out so they'd be ready for me to put it all together when I got home.
