I used the fat-free cream cheese, as well as skim milk, and this was still excellent! There is a restaurant nearby that serves the best, fattening, pasta primavera, and this was just as delicious!

I Loved this Dish. It took no time at all and It is something I would keep making in the future. My 4 year old loved it Not only cause it had chicken in it but he loves Vegetables. This is A dish I Recommend for first time and always on the go MOMS or if it's Daddy's night to Cook dinner. This Can Also Be made with Pork (the other white Meat :-) A A+ MEAL.

My family loves creamy, cheesy dishes and this one really fit the bill! My husband raved over it. I served Parmesan Breadsticks with it from the Kraft website as well--great combo.

This is quick and easy...my husband's favorite! Mixed frozen vegetables and mushrooms work well with this recipe.

The sauce was a bit thick for my liking, so I should have added more milk, but my husband really enjoyed it, and took the leftovers to work the next day for lunch. Thank you!

This was delicious and very quick to make. I did increase the milk to 1 cup and added 1/2 lb of cooked shrimp. This will definitely be made often.

Very, versatile. Can be made with any in-season vegetable or add some cooked chicken for a complete meal!
