Very good and easy to make. Made the pasta ahead of time and added it in, along with some spices to add flavour and a bit of heat. Would make this one again.

Needed a little tweaking with some additional seasoning as the cream cheese and broth were a little bland. Added about 2 tablespoons garlic & herb cream cheese and some mRS. dASH FOR cHICKEN.

Hi - I modified this recipe a little as well - as per the other reviews. I was doubling so cooked the pasta separately. I also used pasta sauce instead of the tomato sauce. Used grated parmesan instead of the mozzarella. Turned out really well - enjoyed by all!

I modified this recipe using both chicken and sausages, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and 1 can of tomato soup, garlic, gr pepper, onion, tomato, rosemary and black pepper, used more pasta and increased water as I'm feeding up to 6 kids. Delicious!

When I make this recipe I tend to make it for a big crowd. I cook the chicken in saucepan, but cook the noodles separately. Then I combine in a baking dish with other ingredients and bake until warmed through.

was delicious, turned out better than I thought it would be. Only change- substituted water for chicken stock.
