300 grams angel hair pasta, uncooked
2 teaspoons oil
450 grams boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
2 cups milk
125 grams PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Spread
1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips
1/4 cup KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons pesto
This is soooooo delicious! The Philly melts well if you use the right level of heat.
Sounded really good, but its pretty bland. Something needs to be added to it, so keep that in mind, I'm sure it could be made into something really good. PS - 125 grams is 1/2 cup :)

I thought this recipe sounded really good! I'm not sure if I did something wrong but the cream cheese stayed chunky. My boyfriend asked if there was cottage cheese in it! Not very appealing... Will not make again!
I made a few tweaks. I used olive oil for the chicken and I had a sun dried tomato and garlic pesto mix that I cooked the chicken in. I added onions to that. I only used 1 3/4c cup milk and added 1/4c sherry. Then instead of parmesan cheese I used 1/2c ahredded Italian cheese blend. My family loved it!
We all enjoyed this one, I blended the milk,philly cheese,pesto and parmsian then added to the chicken
This was very good but it could use a little more seasoning. I used half butter and half olive oil to cook the chicken and I seasoned the chicken with chicken fajita seasoning. I used one cup fat free half and half and one cup 2% milk. I didn't have any Parmesan cheese but I had a three cheese blend that has Parmesan, Romano and Asiago in it. I added a dash of garlic powder but I forgot to add salt and pepper and I think that that made the difference. I will most definitely be making this again. I served it with homemade whole wheat spaghetti.
My husband loved this! I did add a heavy sprinkle of garlic powder, salt and pepper. A smidge less milk and 2 tbs of butter. I kept it simple without the pesto and bell peppers, and seasoned the chicken with a little cajun powder. DELISH!
My fiance and I just finished eating this and it was delicious! We took the suggestions below and added some chopped garlic. I am a picky eater and he will eat anything but is rarely impressed with what he eats and we both said we'd make this again.
