We liked this a lot. But, I had to add quite a bit more milk than called for (maybe an additional 1/2 cup?) because it was so thick and gooey. Will make again. Served over rice instead of noodles -- YUM! Left out the bacon (didn't have any), and browned the chicken in olive oil instead. -
I made this on 12/9/07,for mine and my SO's dinner.And "Oh Boy" was it it good :),I mean how can you go wrong with chicken AND bacon?I only made half of the recipe,and it worked out just great.Instead of serving over noodles I used rice.The next time I make this,and there will be a next time:)I will add the cheese.(I forgot it this time)Thanks for posting a very good recipe."Keep Smiling:)" -
This was so good! My whole family loved it, even my picky eater. The only things I did different were to use Turkey bacon and 1 can of Fat Free evaporated milk and the rest Fat Free Milk. It turned out great! Next time I'm adding mushrooms and maybe artichoke hearts! Yum! -
This gets our automatic 5 star. DD ate this up and gave me a thumbs up. DH and I loved it too. Definate repeat in our house. I used turkey bacon, I cooked in the microwave till it was crispy. I also used skim milk, and added 1 c of frozen peas and carrots to make it a one dish meal. YUMMY! -
Very easy and flavorful! I soaked the chicken in buttermilk overnight and made the dish with bowtie pasta. Next time I'm going to add peas too. Definitely a keeper, Thanks Lainey!
