This was good and easy to make. I did change it up a bit. I doubled the recipe. I used canned chicken and canned mushrooms. I also used a bit more cheese then noted. I also made this for freezer tag. I made one casserole with the mixture and cooked it right away. The other casserole I froze. We loved the fresh casserole. I did add a generous amount of garlic powder, salt and pepper. The other casserole I froze before baking. The day I was ready to cook, I pulled and let it thaw in the fridge. It was good frozen and thawed but it was a bit dry and if I would freeze again, I would use a thicker noodle as the angel hair got a bit mushy. This was easy enough to make any weeknight. -

Had the neighbors over for supper and I served this. It looked easy and delicious and I was NOT disappointed! Everyone loved it. The ingredients went perfectly with the chicken. A lovely dish to serve to company. -
I used whole wheat angel hair pasta and it worked out great. This was real easy to do and the entire family loved it. My husband has already asked me to make it again.
