I have used this same recipe for years. It is not bland and it's become a standard for all family members from 2 yrs old to 80! I too use boneless chicken, in fact FROZEN breast filets from Costco. No need to thaw at all. I do only use 1 packet of onion soup mix in my recipe and it covers about 20-25 filets. Double sauce if you use the entire bag of filets. Enjoy!

Great starter salad but some changes seemed to make it better. Too dry for 16 servings, so figured on only 8 so only used 1 lb of pasta. But once made, there was plenty for more! For the dressing, I increased mayo to 2 cups, then used 1/2 cup Italian Dressing (Bernstein) & 1/2 cup Catalina (you can play around with other dressings too) & I added 1.5 Tablespoons of Old Bay, as other's have done. Mixed all together and used 1/2 of the mix on the cooked pasta. Let chill for 3 hrs, then added the seafood & the rest of the dressing mix. I only used 1 can of Albacore Tuna (drained), 1 lb of fresh salad shrimp, and added a package of immatation crab (shredded). I also added 2-3 cups of shredded Mozzarella cheese. And it does get better each day, YUMMY!

The dressing alone is 5 stars! Will use it with other recipes as well. I did make some changes in the salad part. I used a bag of cole slaw cabbage mix instead of the lettuce. The slaw mix has great coloring and it was not only crunchy for first serving, but it retains some crunchiness for leftovers. I also used LaChoy Rice Noodles instead of Chow Mein. (They're smaller in size). Family loved it, even picky son-in-law!
