     The dish was good, but it was a little bland in my opinion. This is possibly my own fault. I would definitely make it again and add some more seasonings - 6/17/09

     This was good however I definitely did not get 6 *1 1/2 cup servings...MAYBE 6 *1 cup servings. It was good nonetheless. I'll add more spices next time I make it too! - 7/9/09

     The recipe was very confusing... No where did it say not to put dry pasta in with the cream cheese mix. Luckily I am smart enough to know that wouldn't work and boiled it first. Still the directions are confusing. - 1/8/13

     Maybe I did something wrong but I thought this recipes was completely bland. The chicken had no taste but of course, that could just be our personal preferences on spice levels. I really wanted to like this one but unfortunately, I won't be making this one again. - 5/19/13

     Made this last night. Had to keep adding milk to it, I even added a bit more cream cheese to it. Definately going to dress it up with some more spices next time, as well as cook the noodles at least half way before throwing them in the skillet to cook. Overall, great idea as long as you tweak a bit! - 6/19/12

     YUM!! Made this tonight and even my hubby went back for seconds even though I used gluten free pasta. Only this is you have to keep an eye on the liquid and add more milk as needed. - 2/15/12

     this recipe is awesome. even my boyfriend loved it and hes pickyer then a 2 year old. i use quorn naked cutlets (vegetarian "chicken") instead of chicken since i am vegetarian. and its really good. - 11/30/11

     Very easy to make - I cut it in down to fit 2 chicken breasts for myself and my partner. One serving (1.5 cups) was very filling and we had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day! One tip - be flexible and willing to add more milk...it boils off very quickly. - 8/22/11

     Very disappointed with this. I agree that if you are going to do this then the pasta should be cooked separately. I ended up with pasta that was not even cooked half way through. The flavor in general was not very good although it seemed good cooking. I would not try this one again. - 7/14/11
  • MHICKMOTT
     Sounds good, going to give it atry tonight. - 5/12/11

     It was a good comforting meal. However, I would suggest cooking the noodles and vegetables a head of time to save yourself some time. - 11/15/10

     This was very, very bland. I made the pasta separately so the doneness was fine, but there was no taste at all. I think we're going to throw the rest away. - 8/18/10
