Really tasty and my family loved it!! I made some slight changes: to help with the blandness, I seasoned the chicken with a little salt, pepper and garlic powder before cooking. Like the others, I also used 2 more ounces of cheese and little bit more dressing. Everyone loved it!!!

This was an amazing healthy alternative for a family that is trying to eat better. It was very easy to make and was tasty!

Wonderful and filling meal. I made a couple of slight changes (carrots instead of squash, two extra ounces of cheese, some extra dressing when I added the vegetable to the skillet, and a bit of water in the skillet to better steam the vegetables). My 10 yr old daughter (who is very picky about vegetables) cleaned her plate and said it was "delicious"!

Thought there was quite a lot of broccoli when I made the recipe. Depending on if you have a picky eater like I do, you may need to cut back or substitute the veggies. The flavor is a little bland, so adding some spices or more dressing would probably be a good idea. Also may want to add more cheese, as others have stated, depending on how healthy you want the recipe to be. It could have used more cheese, but was enough to coat most of the chicken and veggies. Overall, pretty good for a healthy meal!!

I too had to use more cheese than the recipe called for, and I used more squash instead of red peppers, because no in my family likes peppers..

Pretty good for how quick and easy it was. I used more cheese than the recipe called for and also just put the cheese directly in and melted it in the skillet.

Didn't have squash but had everything else. I didn't use the microwave i just put cut up into the pan of veggies and chicken. It was delicious and will make it into the regular cycle. I love tendercrip veggies like that. I really liked the light cheese flavor and healthy veggies! Good job Kraft!!!

I love this recipe! I have made this twice. The second time I forgot to buy the Velveeta cheese so I tossed in some grated Parmesan cheese and it was delicious that way too! I also use fat-free Italian dressing.

Excellent. Froze leftovers & reheated in microwave w/ no problems. Same great taste.

The cheese sauce needed something else added to it to make it more creamy. The chicken and veggies needed something other than Italin Dressing added to them
