"I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. I am listing it here as she gave it to me, but I make the following changes: recipe #54128 in place of the mushroom soup (or I have also used cream cheese, maybe fat-free?) lots more garlic and onions, fresh mushrooms instead of canned, cheddar cheese spread (ie Wispride)instead of Velveeta and I skip the olives since it is one of the few foods I actually dislike. It's really a pretty tasty casserole, easy to make ahead for a crowd and it freezes well. I like to add Tabasco for a little more zip."

I made modified versions of this recipe based on our personal likes and dislikes; I actually made 2 separate versions. First, since I had a case of Velveeta & shells, I used 2 packages of this instead of spaghetti. I cooked the chicken as directed, and then cooked the noodles in the broth. For one version, I added rotel tomatoes (but no tomato sauce as I didn't have any). I did not add the mushrooms as I can't tolerate them, and I subbed cream of chicken soup for the cream of mushroom. The other version I made mostly for DD, as she does not like tomotoes in her food, so I skipped those altogether. Overall, this is a tasty meal, served with a green salad - DH really liked it. For me it was just ok, so I'm giving 4 stars. Thanks for posting - made for FALL PAC 2012.
