I made the unhealthy version, with real mayo, sour cream, 1% milk. I also used fresh garlic and onions. Really easy and yummy.

SO dry and bland. Is there something missing like a can of cream of chicken soup? Thyme is not the right herb to use either and it needs more seasoning.

Very good but did need a dash more flavor. I used salt, my husband used soy sauce. I read a review that someone used a cajun spice, maybe I'll try that next time.

This dish came out absolutely delicious! The kids loved it! After reading the other comments for this recipe, I decided to change it a bit. I added 1/2 cup more milk, a can of cream of mushroom and 1/2 cup of sour cream instead of mayo, and about 2 cups of monterey/colby cheese. I also used white rice...definitely a keeper!

It was really good, but I had to add extra milk to finish the baking the rice. I also used mixed oriental vegetables instead of the broccoli and used cajuin spice with it.

Mayo and milk did not mix well in this dish. Rather than being creamy, the two curdled up. It was not good at all.

I used leftover chicken so I did mine in a saucepan on the stovetop instead of the oven. It was quick and tasty but a bit on the dry side and it definitely needs salt & pepper.

There was not much flavor in this dish; it was too bland.

My family loved this recipe. I added two cups of cheddar cheese to the mixture, and parmesean, cheddar, and mozzarella to the top layer.
