It was okay but I didn't love it to make it again. The kids liked it though.

I made this using velveeta (which is what I had on hand since I don't keep Cheez Wiz in the house. I added some cayenne pepper to give it a little kick. The flavor was good but I found the cheese sauce was almost rubbery and coated my mouth. I'd only make this again in a pinch, otherwise I'd rather make a cheese sauce from scratch.

This looks very good but the sodium content is very high..must be the cheez whiz and dressing as I don't see any added salt. Too bad! Sorry

I would you macaroni instead of noodles. It was very tasty. I also used celery instead of squash. Would make this again.

It was OK with the teens in the house, but they asked me not to make it very often.

This recipe is quick and easy to make. The chicken comes out very tender and tasty. I find that cheese whiz has a very strong flavour so I decreased it to a 1/4 c and increased the zesty italien to a 1/2 c. Great flavour!
