Kraft Kitchens Tips

Shortcut

Have leftover chicken? Prepare recipe as directed, using 5 cups chopped cooked chicken and reducing the baking time to 20 to 25 min. or until VELVEETA is melted and casserole is heated through.

Substitute

For milder flavor, prepare using 14-1/2-oz. can plain diced tomatoes.

This was a let-down. First off- if you print the recipe any way other than full-page, it cuts off critical info like cooking the pasta and thawing the vegetable first. Second- the cheese melted funny- looking like it was curdled when it was done. And overall this was really bland. I will not make this again.

I HAVE attempted to make this recipe twice, following it to the letter, I think the cheese needs to be melted prior to mixing all ingredients, the chicken should at least be browned and the vegetables thawed. The velveeta didn't seem to want to melt and it didn't taste the greatest.

I followed directions, but mine seemed a bit dry, like it needed more sauce or cheese. the 8 of us ate it, but probably wouldn't make it again.

I used garlic rotisserie chicken for convenience and Italian diced tomatoes. This recipe is yumm-o and I will be making it again.

Great recipe! I added frozen broccoli instead of the italian vegetable. Great hit with my family and friends. This recipe will be in rotation!

I took another reviewer's suggestion and used Birds Eye frozen stir fry veggies--it tasted great, will definitely make again

This was really good because the cheese and the tomatoes balance each other nicely. My 10 year old was in charge and she was able to do most of this by herself!

Gross! Noodles and chicken didn't have much flavor and it had a strange consistency overall because of the velveeta.
