We enjoyed this very easy and healthy dish -- a very different take on chicken and noodles! I did change the recipe slightly by using red wine vinegrette (instead of the Italian dressing) and using WW cheese instead of the Velveeta -- but a very enjoyable dish that can be described as "healthy comfort food" -- thanks for sharing!
