this was really good! it makes a lot, since there are just 2 of us, but it will make some great warmovers. i used manicotti shells because i had them, instead of the giant shells, i'll use them next time. i like the fact that this is a dish i can make up ahead of time, and put it in the frig. and then just add the soup that evening, and it's ready to go in the oven. a keeper for sure!

Manda, this dish is wonderful for leftover chicken! I am always looking for new ideas for using leftovers and this recipe is great! So easy to prepare, it takes practically no effort at all. I made exactly as directed and it produced an excellent and satisfying meal. We enjoyed it so much. Thank you so much for posting!

DELISH!!! wow these are REALLY good! i only made a couple of changes due to lack of available ingredients. i only had a 1/2 cup of mayo in the fridge, so instead of the full cup, i made up the difference with a half a can of cream of mushroom soup, that seemed to work just fine and gave it a nice flavor. i also added a little sage, onion and garlic powder to the mixture (literally just one sprinkle). then in the final step, i used a can of milk instead of water to the cream of chicken soup to make the sauce a little creamier. i also added the rest of the cream of mushroom soup. for the last five minutes of cooking, i removed the tin foil, just to thicken up the sauce a bit. my boyfriend and i absolutely LOVED this dish. so excited to have something new to make with chicken! thanks Manda for a FABULOUS recipe!!

This is a good family recipe. For the first time in weeks my finicky 3 year old actually cleared his plate of this. My sister said it was pretty good though my husband (not a fan of stuffing) didn't like it. I did make few changes because of what was in my pantry: used whole wheat chicken stuffing mix, Miracle Whip Light in lieu of mayo, topped it with jarred light alfredo sauce instead of cream of chicken soup, and sprinkled fresh chopped cilantro on top when it came out of the oven. I'm planning on freezing the leftovers and bringing it to our next church pot luck as I think it would be ideal for that.

Really yummy, but I did make a change to lower the fat because, of course, I'm on an eternal diet that never works. Anyway, instead of mayo, I substituted a cup of fat free yogurt with just a T or so of Splenda added to cut the "tartness" of the yogurt. I also ommitted the margarine when making the stuffing. My husband raved and raved. Definitely a keeper.
