    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

    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

    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

    I didn't have very good luck with this recipe. I also had the problem of not having enough liquid to cook the pasta. That said, it was actually pretty good and I'll try it again with a different approach. - 7/10/10

    not enough liquid to boil the pasta all the way. made a few alterations and will add some spice for flavor - 6/17/10

    I thought this was very good and my daughters both loved it. I didn't see how 1.5 cups of milk could cook 3 cups of pasta, so I boiled the pasta separately and then added it to the pan. I also sprinkled in some instant potato flakes to thicken up the sauce some. I will be making this again. Thanks! - 4/18/10

    Good recipe! I used whole wheat pasta and fresh broccoli and carrots. Was really good, lots of leftovers. Next time I'll cook the noodles and blanch the veggies before combining to make sure they are soft. We added some salt and pepper after but seasoning the chicken woudl help too. - 4/5/10

    Yummy!! whole family liked it. Next time I think I will cook the pasta separate. Had a hard time getting the noodles cook all the way - 3/27/10

    this was a great base for a cream chicken and pasta. It needed more seasoning but will definately be making again. - 3/15/10

    Great recipe..thanks. My only comment was that the veg didn't cook. I did cook the pasta first, which was easier. - 2/21/10

    I tried this, but I think I made it wrong. The milk wasn't enough liquid to cook the pasta, so I had to keep adding more. There wasn't enough fat to bind the milk and cheese to the pasta, so it came out clumpy. The meal came out tasteless, and borderline bad. - 12/21/09

    I thought this was great, I substituted vanilla soy milk, mozzarella cheese, and used chopped onions, celery, and broccoli. I used less milk and chicken to make 3 servings. Tasted like an alfredo sauce, but much healthier. Will definitely be making this again, thank you! - 6/25/09
