This made a nice casserole. I used spinach noodles, that were quite wide and 12 oz. instead of the 10 oz. package. Next time I will increase the soup to 2 cans or go with a thinner noodle. It smells fabulous while cooking. Made a lovely candlelight meal surprising my husband after his afternoon golf! Thanks for posting. -
Made this one for my family the other night. It was a very good casserole that made a tasty week-night meal. The green color of the noodles and the orange color of the Cheez Nips looked kind of funky and the kids liked that. Has all the usual components of a good casserole--cheese, cream, noodles, and chicken. Very yummy.

I really enjoyed this casserole. My husband wasn't sure about the green noodles. But after he tasted it, he liked it too. I didn't have Velveeta cheese so I just used the cheese I had on hand. I didn't have the cheese nips and i used saltine crackers. It was still very good. Thank you!! Mary -
I had a recipe much like this one years ago but somehow lost it. I was thrilled that it was posted on this site. I made it for dinner the other night and it is just as good as I remember. The sauce was well seasoned in addition to being rich and cheesy. The color of the spinach noodles gave my kids a good giggle. A hearty, comfort food casserole. Thanks for posting.
