Simply awesome! I used white wine to thin the sauce. My 5 year old loved it.

Fabulous! Super easy to make and delicious too. I always double recipes to feed my army and it worked out well. Like others suggested I julienned some carrots, and added different coloured peppers, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. (We love our veggies!) I also thinned with some chicken broth. It's a requested fav by my kids.

It's very delicious. My boyfriend though, added a little bit of Salsa Sauce to his. That was also delicious. Just enough to add more color to his plate maybe 1/4 cup of Salsa was just right and not over bearing.

The whole family loved it!! Adding chicken broth makes the sauce much thinner, I also added peppers and fresh mushrooms. I would recommend chopping the chicken and serving on top of the pasta - or omitting the chicken all together and having as a vegetarian dish. Delicious Sauce!!

Very good! I took the advice of other raters and added some matchstick carrots, quartered button mushrooms, and some chicken stock to thin out the sauce a bit. People fought over who could take the leftovers for lunch the next day.

The whole family enjoyed this very much. The chicken was very juicy and moist. I used bone in skinless chicken which I think helps to keep chicken moist. I used cream cheese with spinach which I had never tried before and it was quite tasty.
