I used 2 chopped cooked chicken breasts and chili-ready diced tomatoes because other reviews said the recipe was bland. I found it rather dry and will add more liquid next time - maybe salsa or Fiesta Philadelphia Cooking Creme - and cut down the amount of pasta by 1/2-1 cup. I liked the taste of the shredded cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia but the cheese was mashed together with the cream cheese and hard to spread. We liked it-makes a LOT!

Followed directions to the letter and not impressed. Next time will use ground beef instead of chicken and will layer the cheese. Rather bland.

Added a small can of sliced black olives, can of green chillis and some jalepenos. Left out onion and cilantro (didn't have)...was great! I suggest layering the cheese. Will make again!
