This was a good meal, but the directions are missing a little info. I left out the brocolli because I am the only one who likes it but otherwise added everything else. I layered in the chicken and ham together and put a little extra cheese on top. Made for 1-2-3-Hits.

A tasty recipe but the instructions were extremely confusing. So this is not one to make when you're feeling a bit tired! The instructions were following a logical sequence but then just petered out. And I was feeling tired - it was a week night - so this was frustrating. I made this with sliced fresh mushrooms, I added 2 cloves of minced garlic, a pinch of thyme and sauteed these in olive oil rather than margarine. Rather than throw out the broccoli stems, I added them to my freezer bag collection of vegetable scraps to be used in my next batch of Vegetable Stock. After 6, I added a third of the shredded chicken then 3 more noodles and then the rest of the ingredients being layered, then the remaining noodles - and I added some additional grated cheese on top.
