This recipe was very good and very easy to make. I added a little extra dressing and some salt and pepper for extra taste. I saved the tomatoes to put in last...YUM!!! Not a single complaint and plates were cleaned off completely!

I thought this was very tasty. We like saucy things so I added a half more of everything in the sauce and also I didn't put the tomatos in with the snow peas I just tossed them in the sauce prior to serving, then they don't get stewy and loose their wonderful flavor. I messed up and put them in too early tonight and it came out on the bland side.

This was missing FLAVOR. Would add onions and mushrooms next time. Also, lack of times things should cook (ex: chicken to 170 deg) isn't all THAT helpful...GIVE ME MINUTES!

I made this last night for my family. "Tasty!" was my husband's comment. The cream cheese chunks left some little bits that didn't totally melt smooth, but other than that, great! My 2 and 4 year olds ate just the chicken and the pasta, but I really liked the tomatoes and snow peas.

Very easy and quick. My whole family enjoyed it and asked me to cook it again sometime. Nice meal for summer.

This recipe is awesome. I really liked the tip about adding mushrooms(thanks). I didn't use snowpeas. The entire family loved it. Thanks

I made this recipe for tonight's dinner - I needed something fast & new (tired of making the same-old-recipes). I did cut up the chicken before cooking & used low-fat cream cheese & whole wheat noodles to make it healthier. My picky teenagers loved it, except for the tomatoes! This recipe is a keeper!

Awesome! Glad I doubled the sauce. Didn't have any snow peas. I cut the chicken up and we ate it like chicken alfredo. I'll try adding some broccoli next time!

I didn't have fettucini so I used spaghetti, and I didn't have Balsamic Vinagrette but I did have Kraft's Sun Dried Tomato Dressing and that was just fine. It was wonderful! Everyone loved it!
