1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4-inch chunks |

2 cups prepared alfredo sauce |
1 tablespoon chipotle chile in adobo (more for spicy flavor) |
2 teaspoons chili powder |
2 teaspoons maple syrup |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
8 slices cooked bacon, chopped |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
