Its was a little too cheesy for my liking. So I made it again with half the amount of Velveeta, twice the amount of garlic, and added fresh tomatoes before it went in the oven. So great now!

I also substituted a box of shells and cheese. My husband loves this!

I should have listened to the other reviewers. I also thought it was way too cheesy. I also thought the garlic should have been sauteed. When I was eating it I kept tasting raw minced garlic. The chicken wasn't seasoned or marinated so it didn't have any flavor to it. The recipe was easy just not very tasty.

I've made this several times, it is so easy, especially with already cooked rotisserie chicken from your local supermarket deli. I make it in my electric skillet, comes out perfect. Great for left overs to take to work for lunch.

I left out the chicken (I didn't think it added anything) and the green pepper. I subsituted a box of shells and cheese for the mac & velveeta the recipe calls for. My hubs and I love it and eat it on a regular basis.

It has very little flavor and is just all around bad.

My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. Because I can almost never make something without changing it :), I added a can of corn and a little extra cheese (although I probably could have left the extra cheese out and been fine). I served it with tortilla chips crushed on top. Super yum!

This turned out very good - it was a little to spicy for me however I think it was the type of chili I used. So I am going to make it again with a different type of chili.
