This was a great base recipe. I used Canola oil and added Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder, minced onion, sage, and parsley to the cubed chicken. That sure got rid of the bland taste. I boiled fresh brocoli with the pasta. I used mini shells instead of elbow. I combined a can of cream of chicken and cream of brocoli soup with Miracle whip. After I combined the chicken with the soups I cubed up velvetta and added it to the mixture. Spreaded it into a 9x13 pan and cooked it at 375 degrees. It melted the cheese very nicely and gave it a thicker texture. There was no leftovers!!!!! Will make again for sure. Thanks.
