My family found this to be rather bland. Even my kids who generally love mac and cheese didn't really enjoy it. I added lots of hot suace and liked it a bit better and my kids added some parmesan cheese to add some flavor as well.

I say Fair only because next time i would definetly added more seasoning to the chicken like Adobo, or garlic but very tasty & we all loved the brocolli in it.

I made this for my husband and even though he said it was good, I was dissapointed that it did not look like the picture. I think next time, if there is one, I will cook the broccoli separate and then add it in the final stirring. Everything in the picture looks like it had been cooked separetly and add together. Will probably try one more time.

I've been trying a lot of new recipes lately that I've found in my Food & Family magazines. Although all of them have been good so far, I have to say that his one is my least favorite. I'm a fan of sour cream, but I think next time I'd use less or possibly omit it completely. It gave a little too much zing of it's kind for me. The broccoli in it was a good addition and it made my picky-when-it-comes-to-vegetables husband eat healthy! :o) Otherwise yummy though!

We tried this for dinner tonight. Yuck. Too bland for my husband--he added tobasco. I thought the sour cream flavor was too powerful--and I LOVE sour cream. We're going to take a pass on this one!
