This was delicious! My husband isn't a fan of pasta so I was afraid he would be disappointed with my dinner selection. He went in for thirds! I added an additional can of cream of celery soup, sauteed my onion with garlic, and used sweet peas, sweet corn, and cooked carrots for my veggies. Used the same cheeses, but sprinkles some corn flakes crumbs on top. I had extra to freeze for a future dinner!
This was pretty good! I sauteed the peppers and onions with some minced garlic, used the herbed cream of chicken soup, boiled the chicken with bay and thyme, and added a good helping of black pepper and a few douses of Louisiana Hot Sauce. Next time, I think I'll add a few more spices to it because it wasn't as flavorful as we like things. But all in all, it was good and we will probably make it again in the future.
I made this just as the recipe stated since it was my first time and it was really great. The next time I would definitely saute the peppers and the onions.
I thought this would be delicious according to the reviews. Wrong. I used can chicken which was a mistake- no seasoning-blah- the green and red bell peppers and onions should be cooked first, if you don't like to chew into something raw. I would use pimento, cream of celery soup. Skip the green pepper. This needs seasonings. Some salt/pepper and maybe hot sauce would help. I will make this again with all of the changes including using cooked chicken.
Good bones casserole. They were impressed it wasn't "tuna noodle". Definitely needed salt and pepper. I added a jalapeno with the green pepper and some sautéed mushroom as well. "tossing" was an interesting phrase to use incorporating the ingredients
This is very tasty but just a tad dry. When I made it the second time, I added 2 cans of soup, a cup of mayo, 2 cups of cheese into the mix. Much more creamy and moist. I used a rotisserie chicken. YUMMMM!!!!
For those that want to cut down on the 35 grams of fat in the recipe, use no yolk noodles, 2% fat cheeses, fat-free mayonaise, fat-free cream of chicken soup, or better make your own soup right in the skillet with flour and chicken broth. Itand#039;s not that hard. There are ways to healthify a lot of recipes, and this is one you can do that with. Iand#039;ve made this for years using lower fat ingredients, and itand#039;s really, really good. You canand#039;t tell the difference.
This is yummy, thanks Kay! You can add whatever veggies you like to the recipe, it's that versatile! For those worried about the sodium content, try making your on COC from scratch. It's not hard and you know exactly what's in it. "A mind full mom" has a simple recipe for it. If it comes down to skipping the recipe because of dietary concerns, using reduced fat cheese and replacing the mayo with yogurt or sour cream is not going to affect the outcome much.
Okay if you are looking for health food, move along and please spare the rest of us your comments. It is a good comfort food recipe. Made as written adding 2 cans of soup, 1 celery, 1 chicken. Nice dish for a cold night with a vegetable side and dinner rolls.
This is DELICIOUS! However, there was a bit too much onion, and almost ruined it for me. I would definitely make this again, but cut the onion way back. Also did not use the peppers, just a personal preference.
