Absolutely fabulous, although I did saute the veggies in olive oil instead of butter. I also used whole wheat noodles because I took it to a company pot luck & have some diabetics in the group. Got many compliments on the dish. Thanks for sharing!

I used the crock pot for this recipe, using the suggestions that others have made. I omitted the butter, added one cup of chicken broth and one can of cream of mushroom soup. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized piece and threw all but the pasta into the crock pot raw. I boiled the pasta for half the time recommended on the box and added it to the crock pot half way through my cooking time of 3 hours on high. Yummy and perfect!

The first time I made this, I put it in the crockpot. That time I only gave it 4 stars, but I'm changing my rating. I made it in the oven for my family and it was much better. Also, I was careful not to shred up the chicken too much and kept the pieces in bigger 1 inch chunks. It was great! Even my 2 year old daughter liked this.

Absolutely loved this recipe! I made a few alterations. I use a Rotisserie Chicken from my local Grocery Deli. I did use chicken broth to boil up my noodles I omitted the celery and most all of the butter and used a red pepper instead of green. Other than that this is most definitely a comfort food to die for and will be going in the personal favorites cookbook!

Would've given this dish 5 stars, but prepared by the recipe was uncomfortably spicy for our tastes. Will substitute a can of Rotel for a can of diced tomatoes to decrease a bit of the kick!

To save time,I used 3 boneless, skinless breasts, cooked and cubed.I put the cheese and rotel into my crockpot along with 1 can of cream of chicken soup and heated till the cheese was melted and soup blended. To that I added the chicken, sauteed veggies and the al dente pasta. Cooked on low for aprox 40 minutes.This was good, but a bit sticky. I think next time I will use more soup and less velveeta.

SO GOOD! Other than leaving out the mushrooms (yucky things) and halving the amount of butter (3/4 of a cup is just not necessary) I didn't make any changes. Some ppl mentioned it being dry, but I thought it was perfectly creamy; I didn't need to add any of the broth. Maybe it is because I didn't drain the tomatoes. Also, some reviewers added additional spices. I thought the flavor was perfect, any more spicy and it would have been inedible to me (but not to my husband who loves spicy food). Again, soooo good! Gotta go, I'm getting seconds! p.s. I also doubled the amount of garlic, can never have too much garlic! ;-)

I made this last night and it turned out great! I used Mexican Velveeta instead of regular for an extra kick. Yummy!

Excellent! My teenagers weren't excited about eating it because it didn't look very appealing, but they loved it! I pretty much followed the recipe as stated with one change. It seemed like it would need more seasoning so for extra flavor and to make it easier, I used 2 boxes of Rice A Roni chicken flavor instead of the vermicelli pasta. The Rice A Roni has the pasta and rice and the added flavor made this meal delicious.
