Unfortunately, my family wasn't crazy about this dish. We used gouda as the cheese topper. Overall, this dish was just kind-of bland. We might make it again, but add some spices to give it more flavor. And we would probably add more chicken, as we could hardly taste it. -
*Reviewed for March Recipe Swap in the Aus/NZ Forum* Super easy and an economical family dinner. I used gluten-free penne pasta to make this meal suitable for my gf diet. I thought 1/2 cup chicken wasn't enough to make this a family dinner -so used two chicken breast instead and added a little extra cream to compensate. I think I would like some fresh herbs and cracked black pepper through the pasta and next time will bake in the oven to heat through a little more while the cheese is melting and browning. I think this would be an easy dish to make ahead of time, refrigerate and then heat in the oven when its dinner time. Served with some steamed brocolli on the side. Photo also to be posted . Thanks for another easy and tasty recipe Sonya

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
