We're not big poppy seed fans so I left those out. This is so, so good! My husband said if I would let him he would eat the whole dish!

Great dish! Very easy too! Mine turned out soupy, so I cooked some noodles, enough for six people, to serve the chicken mixture over. It was excellent! I will definitely make it again!

I will definitely make this dish again! Just had it for dinner tonight, made it with FF sour cream, and served it over steamed broccoli. It was delicious!

While I try to avoid using soup as a sauce, it can't be beat for speed, and the reduced calorie soup and crackers don't keep this from being very comforting and tasty. I serve it over noodles to take advantage of its "soupinesss." It's popular with my husband and two teenage sons.

I love this recipe. It is a staple recipe for dinners I take to new moms because it's so good, yet gentle for nursing babies. It's so easy to make too!

thought this recipe was really good. I have made the full fat version before and didn't really miss the fat and calories from the original dish. I doubled up the recipe and put one in the freezer to make for any easy dinner another night.

way too much soup for me. was checking the website to see if the 2 cans was a typo.
