Very tasty recipe. We did change a few things to suit our preference. We don't like real creamy/goopy dishes so I sub'd 1/2 yogurt & 1/2 canned tomatoes for the cream. I was serving this as a side dish so I didn't add the chicken & therefore cut back the cheeses by 1 oz each. The consistancy was perfect for us and we loved the flavours, thanks for sharing.
