In a bowl, pour salad dressing over sliced chicken; cover; chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
In a large 6 quart dutch oven or deep heavy bottomed pot, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp; transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool; crumble; set side.
Add diced onion to bacon drippings; cook for 2 minutes until translucent.
Remove chicken from marinade; drain well. Over medium-high heat, brown chicken on each side in bacon drippings; do not cook through. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Transfer each batch to a platter.
Add browned chicken, chicken broth, cream, butter, salt and dry fettuccine to the pot; bring to a boil; immediately lower heat; cover; simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender. Remove from heat; add cheese and bacon, reserving some of each for garnishing; stir well.
Serve, garnished with additional cheese, reserved bacon and parsley.
6 servings.
*At the end of cooking, additional cream or some may be added to thin sauce, if desired.
