    This quite similar to a WW recipe I use to make and loved! Thanks for reminding me of it. I add mushrooms. - 8/6/09

    I also boiled the chicken and used Rotel - great substitution! Only 7 WW points for a very filling serving; will make again, and again, and again.... - 5/4/08

    Cheese has a lot of sodium, so if you're watching your sodium intake skip the cheese sauce and top your pasta with red sauce. It's better for you anyway. - 4/13/08

    Very Good
    I haven't made this yet, but it just sounds delicious! I don't know if I will use all of the 16 oz. of l/f velvetta ... I might use some other lighter cheeses, such as parmesan in with it. BUT it sounds great!!! TY!!! ~Nomi - 4/2/08

    Sounds great, but personally I boil the chicken and then cook the noodles in the chicken broth for more flavor. I also like to add rotel and mushrooms for a kick. - 4/2/08

    I have made something like this before, but used mild Rotel instead of bell pepper and it is absolutely wonderful! One of mine and my kids fav dishes!! - 4/2/08

    I would assume the sodium is in the cheese

    Wow! This sounds so great, can't wait to try it. However, I'm curious to know where all the sodium is coming from? It very high in sodium but I can't pin point the source. Could it be the chicken? Cheese? - 4/2/08
