Made this last night and I'm sorry to say that I have NO leftovers! My husband and children loved this meal :) The only thing I'm going to do different is increase the cream cheese/chicken mix...I think it was a little out of balance with the sauce. I had sauce left over and only had enough chicken to do 2 very thin layers. Still so good!!!
