I found that the potatoes were to much in the slices,But a very tasty meal all together.

When preparing this recipe I used chicken breast cubes, and didn't add the cheese, my family liked it. It tastes like chicken pot pie.

My family really liked this dish! I used a 12 ounce jar of gravy instead of the cheese and thickening sauce. I would make this again.

i found this to be an ok quick meal , but a few family members did not like it ,so it would not be worth making again if i had to make a second meal for them.
