This would also be good made with ground beef. Instead of the Deli Fresh Roasted Chicken Breast Cuts, I used Chicken Breasts. I used regular onion and skipped the cilantro. Add 2 cups salsa, one cup of corn and 1 can enchilada sauce. Yummy!

I made this last night while babysitting and my guys seemed to like it. I used ground turkey in place of chicken.My son said he'd eat it again. And that's high praise!

In addition to original recipe, add the following: 1 can Ro-Tel Original tomatoes, 1/2 cup corn, 1 can sliced black olives, 1 can cheddar soup. Lowered dried pasta to 3 cups. Served with sour cream. Now, it is perfect for our taste.

While it was good, it could have used a little more flavor - perhaps some roasted chicken.

Only two of us, so halved the recipe, and used the whole can of diced tomatoes like someone else suggested. It was very good and just the right amount of tomatoes. Was not sure if the 1 red pepper was supposed to be a red chili pepper or red bell pepper. So I used a bit of each kind, as I have a lot of both in my garden this time of year so any way to use them is great.

It was great for a crowd, had a lot of flavor. I did put in the two cans of tomatoes to make sure it wasn't dry - it wasn't. :)

THIS RECIPE IS A KEEPER. I DIDN'T HAVE THE 4 CHEESE WITH THE PHILLY CHEESE STUFF, BUT ADDED MY OWN CHEESES AND A TOUCH OF SOUR CREAM. THE CILANTRO AND GREEN ONIONS ADD A FRESH TOUCH. I ALSO ADDED SLICED BLACK OLIVES. IT WAS GONE BEFORE I COULD GET SECONDS!

This was WONDERFUL!! I used 3 cooked chicken breasts and 2 cans of Rotel which added a lot more flavor but was NOT that spicy instead of diced tomatoes and 2 pkgs of cheese. Also, I mixed one package of cheese in the pasta mixture and used one package of cheese for the topping.
