I boiled the chicken for this dish which is fast and easy and shreds great. The only other change I used was to use my own canned tomatoes. A great tasty dish the kids enjoyed as well. Thanks. -
Very yummy! The whole family enjoyed this. Used recipe #360192, my usual sub for canned soup and about 2 1/2 cups chicken as that's what I had to use up. Pureed Rotel is a great idea, i loved how it gave the dish more flavor. My kids did not find this too spicy, but if you're worried I'd suggest using one original Rotel and one mild Rotel. This makes a large casserole, next time I'll freeze half before cooking to enjoy another night. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Made this with some homemade chicken broth & used some shredded white & dark chicken meat I had frozen, then followed the recipe & we now have a great tasting, new chicken recipe to use again, thanks to you! I don't usually make recipes using Velveeta cheese, but it certainly works in this one! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe] -
I always appreciate a recipe that is simple to make. I used whole wheat rotini and fat free soup. This is another recipe that will be repeated. Thank you for posting. Made for Please Review My Recipe

I did use spaghetti noodles (broken into 3rds). Did not even see the chicken stock. But for some reason, I used 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup pasta water. Heated the tomatoes, cream of chicken, milk, pasta water and velveeta on stovetop until melted. Then I literally mixed ALL the ingredients in a large bowl. Added chili and taco seasoning. Turned out amazing! My 2 boys Loved this and immediately asked me to make again! They did however ask for maybe pasta shells.
