Seems a pity to start with whole chicken breasts. This recipe s/REALLY/b all about using leftover roast chicken, leftover gravy and leftover cooked broccoli. That is what I used and it is a fine dish. I added 2/3 of the cheese to the leftover gravy wi/ enough fat free 1/2 & 1/2 to make a couple of cups of cheese sauce, to which I then added about a teaspoon of Franks hotsauce. Tasty. And economic, and a nice change from leftover roast chicken in soup, pot pie, or al la king.

My family loved it. Very glad to find a recipe that doesn't use cream of something soup. We try to eat foods with short ingredient lists, mostly homemade.

This was just okay, but my 2 year old liked it and so did my picky husband, who usually dislikes casseroles. I did make some changes, but it was still rather bland. I sauteed 1 garlic clove w/the onion and I threw in some mushrooms, which I think are a natural in this recipe. I made 1 1/2 times the sauce, which was the perfect amount. I added the flour to the milk and broth and whisked it together before adding it to the pan. I used fresh broccoli, which I steamed for 3 min in the micro. I mixed it all together and just put it in 2 baking dishes. One is frozen for another meal. All in all it was okay. Probably a good one for kids. Not sure if I'll make it again. If I do, I'll try adding some white wine or sherry for some extra flavor.

I personally prefer more adventurous dishes but this was definitely a crowd pleaser. The hubs went back for seconds and the picky princesses enjoyed theirs as well. I love the versatility and adaptability of this dish. I used penne and a mixture of the cheeses I had on hand and it came out really good. I made a small batch tonight but next time I'll make it as written (with a little more sauce) and divide it between 2 8x8 so I can freeze one. This was a hit.

I thought it was good, but way better with some adjustments. I only used two chicken breasts because that's all I had on hand and it was plenty. It completely filled a 9x13 casserole dish. I had to cook the breasts before shredding, so I coated them in a spice rub mix from the farmer's market. I also used fresh steamed broccoli. I sauteed the onions in the same pan and added a splash of white wine before doing the sauce part. (I let it evaporate first.) Next time, I won't add the flour first, as it made the onions clump together. Instead, I'll shake it up with the milk and add it to the chicken broth when it's simmering. I increased the broth to two cups and the milk to one cup and, while the noodles soaked up the sauce, they weren't dry. I would increase the sauce even more. I also didn't bother with the layering. I mixed it all up and then put the cheese on top. I think this is a great base recipe, though, and I will make it again with the adjustments.

I made this recipe exactly as printed. It was very boring and rather tasteless! Don't know why it has so many good reviews. The next night I reheated and reworked it with CANNED cream of chicken and mushroom soup. What an improvement! Nothing wrong with canned soup when you need to add quick flavor.

Good sauce (seemed just the right amount) but needs more seasoning. Maybe season each item separately: the noodles after boiling, the chicken while cooking, the veggies (i used a frozen mix and it turned out great). Followed advice of other reviewers and mixed all ingredients with sauce instead of layering. Will definitely make again!

This was very good. It had a mild flavor which was fine with me. I'm just glad I found a good casserole recipe that doesn't call for any canned condensed soups! I did add about 1/3 cup mayo, as suggested by another reviewer, and decreased the milk a little. I also added some chopped bacon, shredded cheddar, and chicken bouillon to the sauce mix. I par-steamed fresh broccoli and I'm glad I did. The addition of slivered almonds on top was wonderful. If anything, I would add a few shakes of garlic salt next time to the sauce.

A delicious recipe with a few modifications. I used fresh broccoli instead of frozen. I also sauteed one minced garlic clove with the onion. I used heavy cream instead of milk, and I added 1/4 cup of sourcream to sauce. I saved this recipe, and will definitley make it again!

This is good as written. I like the fact that it doesn't call for the salty canned soups. Preparation is simple. Use fresh broccoli instead of frozen, and pre-steam it a little bit.

A perfect winter meal! I doubled the sauce, used fresh steamed broccoli, added fresh garlic, some italian spices and topped the casserole with panko. It was even better reheated the next day. I'll definitely be making this again!

We were pleased to discover the recipe adapts very well to leftover turkey. I used 6 oz. mini farfalle for the pasta, and the little bow ties really added to the presentation. Also doubled the amount of sauce as suggested in several reviews, using homemade turkey broth instead of chicken broth, and fresh steamed broccoli florets. If I were to make it again, I might add some chopped almonds for garnish, as I think they'd go well with the dish.
