Absolutely delicious and easy! I've made it twice already and received rave reviews both times. I used only broccoli florets instead of the broccoli/cauliflower combo & it was great.

I was out of cheddar cheese so substituted mozzarella. This was surprisingly good !! I too had trouble finding the soup mix at my normal store, but found it at the Walmart. I will definitely be making this again.

I had to make a few changes: used 2 cans of chicken and couldn't find the Lipton soup mix so just used about a tsp. of a dry garlic & herb marinade and it turned out excellent. My husband and 3 year old loved it too. I loved the flavor the marinade added but next time will probably do more veggies.

Very easy and tasty. The garlic and herb mix gives it a good zingy flavor. It could use a little less cheese.

Very good. Kids ate it and husband had two helpings. Would definitely make this again, and next time maybe omit the chicken and just bump up the veggies.
