I found it a little salty, but that would be easily solved by using a low sodium soup. I would also recommend that you drain the juice from the chicken before adding the other ingredients, as the final product was quite runny until it was chilled. I would like to try this without the velveeta as well... if anyone has tried this let me know how you did it. Serving it with a toasted garlic ciabbatta bun really topped it off.

The family really liked this! I'm not going to pretend I made this healthy but I improved its health somewhat by using brown rice, bumping up the broccoli, using olive oil instead of butter, and leaving out the sour cream altogether. Overall, creamy and yummy. Thanks for the recipe Therese Crosby...

I would say this serves 4-6, good flavor and an easy throw together meal. I used non-instant rice, easily made while you dice/cook the chicken. I omitted the shredded cheese topping, opting for bread crumbs mixed with a small amount of margarine, also I used American cheese slices in place of the Velveeta, as its what I usually have on hand
