This was delicious! I like many others made a few changes, I used the Italian style cream cheese. I seasoned my chicken cubes with lots of different spices. Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and some nature's seasoning. I also used chicken broth instead of water since some people said it was bland. It was already pretty soupy once I added the can of Italian seasoned tomatoes so I only added half a can of chicken broth. I poured it over mini farfalle pasta. The consistency was great and the taste was flavorful, creamy, and cheesy. My family loved it and I will bemaking it again!

Overall this dish was just ok. I had to add alot of garlic salt, red pepper flakes and onions to give it more flavor. Probably won't make this again.

This recipe was awesome! I tweaked it a little..I used a little extra bacon, fresh garden tomatoes seasoned myself, fresh garlic, fresh parsley and I used 1/4 cup water to ensure the sauce stayed thick and flavorful. My family loved it!!

This recipe did not have a lot of depth as far as flavor goes. I probably would not make this again. I added some other seasonings to try to make it more flavorful. Also, I would suggest cutting back on the amount of water added - the sauce comes out too thin and watery.

After reading the reviews that suggested the recipe was a bit bland, I made a few changes to try and avoid this, with fairly good success! As others suggested, seasoning the chicken as it cooks is important. Since I didn't have any bacon, I cooked the chicken bits in bacon grease, and seasoned them with black pepper, salt, white pepper, ground coriander, and dark beer (in place on the 1/2 cup of water) as well as some cayenne pepper for a bit of spice. I think using the bacon fat may have helped to dry out the chicken breast pieces more then I would have liked, although I liked the flavor it added to the meal. Next time, I will try cooking the chicken in extra-virgin olive oil, and will add some bacon fat while I'm thickening the cream sauce. I was short on cream cream cheese, so I substituted heavy whipping cream for the remainder. After adding the tomatoes (with a little salt) and reducing the sauce for several minutes, I added some corn starch to help thicken it. The final change I made was to add a sprinkle of dried parsley to the bowls of finished pasta in addition to the Parmesan, just for color! Hopefully, I can keep the chicken more moist next time, but in the end, the sauce was absolutely delicious, and I will try to make this recipe again very soon.

I love this recipe. It has simple instructions and uses ingredients I usually have on hand. I season the chicken with salt and pepper and saute it in a bit of the bacon drippings. I also add more than half of the cream cheese into the sauce (about 3/4 bar).

Pretty good, but I don't think I'd have liked this as much if I hadn't spiced it up. I added garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, basil and oregano to the chicken before frying it up. I also tossed in some shallot and chive boursin cheese along with the cream cheese and didn't add any parmesan. I made the majority of this for a friend and her family and since they don't eat pork I left out the bacon entirely. This makes a lot--I wasn't really in the mood to measure out the pasta, so I just boiled an entire box with the thought that I could do something with the excess if needed. As it was, it all was fine to go in with the sauce and it coated it pretty well even though I left out the water completely. Other than cutting up the chicken, this was a pretty quick meal, so you could leave out the chicken (or use already cooked chicken) to make this even faster for a weeknight meal. Bf approved it, so I'd make it again with my modifications. Thanks for the recipe.
