I've made this a few times now and everytime it turned out quite well. Last night however I decided because there is so much left over filling I would put the leftover filling around the chicken pieces to cook and added a can of cheddar cheese soup. It was delicious! Served it over cooked egg noodles...big hit and I will definitely make it that way again!
