This was a very lovely recipe and I'm sure it stands well as it is written, but I needed to make it fit my needs...so some very small changes. To lower the sodium amount, I replaced the bouillons with poultry seasoning and 1/2tsp Mrs Dash (regular). I did salt the pasta water. Recipe didn't say if the tarragon was fresh or dried so I used dried. I cut the chicken down to one small breast since I was going to serve this with meatloaf. Add two extra garlic cloves which I minced after smashing them. Since I was making this as a side, I upped the pasta by 1/2 cup, milk by 1/4cup and flour by 1/4tbls. When done cooking, I felt it was a bit bland so I added 1/4 tsp chili paste before adding the cheese. This was a very nice dish to the meatloaf and was enjoyed by all. Thanks for another great recipe...and...PLEASE get well. I sure could use more of your ideas!! (Nah, just get well!)
