I love most recipes by Pioneer Woman,. but this one needs a bit of work. I cut up my pepper and onion very small and it still tasted raw after baking for 45 minutes, so next time I will saute them first. Also, it seemed like it was lacking something. Maybe garlic? It just seemed a little too bland.

I love this dish. I have made it several times and the it's always a smash hit. I have never used pimento and I use one can of cream of mushroom and one cream of chicken. It makes a ton, I make it into two 8x8s and freeze or give one away. Very good.

I made this the other night and it was delicious. My husband doesn't care usually for casserole type dishes but loved this one. I did make some changes. I used cooked chicken and homemade chicken broth I had in the freezer. Other changes I made were not to add the pimentos but doubled the bell pepper using a red one instead of green. I also added garlic powder. I made the full recipe but since there's only the 2 of us, the rest went in the freezer. Thank you for posting this.

DELISH! I have recently found Pioneer Woman and LOVE her recipies. This one is super yummy. Kids loved it, boyfriend loved it. Easy and has great flavor. I used just breasts and it was very good.

4 large chicken breasts + 8 oz of spaghetti. I ended up using a can of cream of mushroom and one of cream of chicken by accident and it was even better I think? Huge pan of this with NO left overs. Quick and easy. Winner!
