I found that there wasn't enough liquid to cook the pasta, and it was completely bland. I still have half the recipe in the freezer, so I'm going to try mixing in some cream soup and adding a breadcrumb topping.

Great simple base recipe! I used fresh sweet corn and lots of red and green bell peppers, onions, and leeks. I only made half of the recipe and found that 1/2 cup of stock was a bit too much as the pasta didn't soak it all up (though I used whole wheat pasta which may be the reason.) Though the sweet corn added tons of flavor, I also added Tony's for more seasoning. Thanks for the recipe!

A good recipe to start but I needed more liquid to cover the noodles and added poultry seasoning. Everyone liked it. Could be a good staple meal for a picky family.

After reading the suggestions, I decided to add a yellow squash and some thyme and rosemary, which definitely added to the flavor. I also needed more broth than it called for in order to make sure there was enough for the pasta to absorb. Ended up using 4 cups of low-sodium broth, but probably only needed 3. Next time, I'll put the cheese on the top only for the last ten mins when it's uncovered, since it all pretty much melted through to the bottom by the time it was done. And there will be a next time! yum.

Cook the noodles first! This is a good recipe, as you can add whatever veggies you like to it. I favor broccoli, corn, celery and zucchini. I also season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder. I decreased the salt called for in the recipe to about 1/2 to 3/4 tsp. I've also added mozzarella cheese to the top with the cheddar. This is very tasty, and my kids love it.

This is a good basic recipe but you need to add things to it to make it more flavorful. I added red bell peppers and yellow squash to the veggies. I added about 1/4 c. white wine when I added the chicken and pasta. I noticed I needed more broth so I added 1 can of cream of celery and about 1/3c more broth. The pasta would have absorbed all of the broth had I not added extra. I seasoned with salt and pepper then put it in the oven. The cooking times are RIGHT ON. I only made 1/2 a serving and it seriously made enough for 4 people with left overs. It's a good quick recipe to use left over chicken. Thanks so much.
