Use medium heat salsa at minimum because the heat bakes out some. Also, used 2T dried parsley instead and it was great! Loved the Miracle Whip taste. Use a whisk to mix the Miracle Whip/flour and then slowly add the milk. Cook and stir with whisk over low heat until thickened and bubbly to remove the flour taste. Will definitely make again! Thinking of all the possibilities of additions like onions, garlic, sauteed peppers ....

I'd skip the parsley next time.

Pretty disappointed. I felt like the Miracle Whip in the sauce was a little weird. It didn't give the sauce the zing I was thinking it would. The sauce was bland and it had a slightly weird texture that I just didn't like. I don't think I'll make this recipe again.

Not a great meal but not horrible either. I won't be making this again. It is too cheesy that I needed to break it up with some salsa and sour cream on the side. It was good paired with a salad but I preferred to eat the salad over the dish.

I was so disappointed with this recipe. can't believe anyone would say they liked it. I decided to make according to recipe to see what it tasted like first. The sauce had no flavor - I would not make this recipe again.

Great recipe. I did do some changes though. First I halved the recipe as there are just two of us and it makes a lot. Secondly I sauted some garlic, onion and red pepper and added them to the filling. Very tasty!

We topped our with diced peppers (red, yellow, & green) in lieu of the extra cheese. For the filling, we also tossed in black beans for some of the chicken. So good that husband who rarely eats leftovers has already claimed some for lunch tomorrow!

turned out pretty good considering that I had to adjust for 2 instead of 16. Will try with sour cream on top next time
