I really liked this dish and so did my husband. It had great flavor. I did change a few things. I used frozen broccoli instead of fresh. I just cooked it in the microwave and put it in after the squash and pepper were cooked. I used Kraft Tuscan House Italian dressing to give the chicken more flavor and used at least 1/3 cup instead of 1/4. I also used whole grain noodles and low fat Velveeta. I think you could tell that it was low fat cheese, but I think the lower calories were worth it. I would make this again!

Was afraid it would be too bland, so I sprinkled the chicken with garlic pepper and added some purple onion in with the veggies. Garnished the top with a little bit of 2% sharp cheddar. It was very good!

SUCH a yummy, easy and filling recipe to make! Instead of the microwave, we cooked the VELVEETA cheese on the stove top and added a bit more milk to thin out the cheese so it didn't thicken up. For someone who doesn't cook, this was a really great starter recipe! Definitely will make it again!

Pretty bland. Not a 'do again' recipe for us.
