My family and I really enjoyed this. I have a 3yo and a 12yo and they couldn't get enough. My husband said I needed to make this on a regular basis. I did add some fresh steamed broccoli and a layer of sharp cheddar cheese before putting on the cracker crumbs. I love this recipe because there is so much you can do with it. For the chicken I pan seared it first then added water to cover. To that I added half an onion, some chopped celery, and three cloves of smashed garlic. When the chicken was done I took it out of the broth to cool. While the chicken was cooling I strained the broth brought it back to a boil and cooked my pasta I used bowtie. I also used my dutch oven. This recipe is a winner and will be in regular rotation in our household.

This was excellent with the changes mentioned in the other reviews. I think it needed the vegetables and extra spice.

This is an excellent casserole. I have made this one for years. My kids love when I make it. I use bread crumbs (loaf bread) broken into pieces and butter poured on top instead of cracker crumbs.

I loved it! I used rotissary chicken from the grocery store in place of poached chicken. Great flavor. I think I will make some adjustments next time, such as adding some mixed veggies - but overall it was a hit!

Hands down the easiest meal to make! And best of all, the man of the house loves it (and so do his kids). I poach my chicken in chicken broth and add my own herbs. Tastes super!

Oh No - out of Cream of mushroom soup so I used Cream of Chicken and Cream of Broccoli (which stinks in the can - but smelled wonderful when it came out of the oven), a can of mushrooms and half a bag of frozen veggies. Since I forgot to thaw out the chicken - duh... I used two cans of canned chicken breast from Costco! Cooked the whole wheat penne in vegetable broth. Wow! Easy peasy - and fantabulous! 1/4 cup butter was enough for the crackers on top and I added 1 tbsp or so of Parmesan cheese to the butter mix. Ohhhh laa laa - so good and I'm glad I found something to put that darn canned chicken in besides sandwiches! Dawne - this was the best chicken noodle casserole I have ever made with or without any modifications!!! Btw - the reason I love to read the reviews is because I get ideas to switch things up if I'm out of an ingredient! LOVED YOUR RECIPE!!! Loved the reviews! Thanks to all of you for putting your modifications as a side note!

Great recipe with some modifications as previous reviewers suggested. Saute onion and chicken before substituting broth for water to finish the chicken. Very tasty.
