I tripled the amount of spices for this dish. My husband and I like it spicy - but even if we didn't, the dish would have been too bland. I also added chopped jalapenos and several dashes of hot pepper sauce to add to the flavor. Next time, my husband wants rice to sop up the yummy sauce!

This was really delicious. My family loved the flavor of the sauce. I did add cajun spice to my plate and dh's, but my 5 and 3 year olds cleaned their plates as is. I used fat free soup and neufchatel cheese(lowfat cream cheese) and then served over whole grain pasta. We really enjoyed this so thanks for posting Hunkle!

Good, but I feel mine didn't have enough kick. I may have to adjust if made again.

I have been a professional Chef for 16 years and this is one of the best creamy chicken recipes I have ever tasted! Job well done on posting this one. It's a winner!

This was great! The creamy sauce and the zip from the spices complimented each other. I didn't have cream of chicken soup so I used cream of mushroom. Very tasty. I was telling some family members about the recipe and they all want to try it.
