I have made this several times. I have added onion, garlic, cheese, and lemon pepper. Have also made this after browning chicken for another recipe, then deciding to make this instead. I make this about twice a month. Thanks for an easy to fix dish! -
Made this the other night and we enjoyed the rich creamy texture, but felt like it needed something more. Next time I might add the mixture to some cooked thin egg noodles and add some Mrs Dash lemon pepper. -
The family liked this and it was so easy! I didn't dice the chicken because I forgot to and just put the cooked breasts in the bottom of a casserole dish. It turned out really well. Next time, I will dice it ahead of time because our kids are small and need things cut up for them. One thing I did do that I would recommend is browning the chicken (instead of just boiling or nuking). My husband said, "It's a keeper." Thanks! -
I make this all the time. My son loves it, and so does my hubby! I am very happy to see someone else getting good use out of this recipe! :) I never have added lemon juice to this, but I think I will try it next time! ;) -
I've had this recipe in my recipe box forever, but never got around to making it. Tonight I was just wanting something easy...something 'comfort food', and this came to mind. I only used two chicken breasts, as I was just making this for me, but used the same amount of soup/sour cream. Added a handful of chopped onion, a handful of shredded cheese I had sitting around, a lot of black pepper, and used a mix of Garden Vegetable Ritz crackers and french fried onions on the top. It came out amazing! Exactly what I was wanting...perfect comfort food. Thank you for sharing this. I'm sure I'll be making this again very soon!

When I was 10 I discovered the joy of cooking on the back of a Nestle Toll house Chocolate Chip bag. It was the first recipe I ever made. I had a blast and it was a lot of fun to cook something that everyone loved. To this day, baking is one of my favorite things to do, and it shows! (that explains the lack of a picture, hehe)
On the non-cooking front, I lead a fairly normal life. For the past four and half years I have been able to stay home with my DD and be a full time mom (is there any other kind?).
In college I had a wonderful professor, Dr. Mark Woodhouse (his books are fascinating BTW) and I began my study of the paranormal, conspiracy theory, and metaphysics. I can honestly say it changed my life. I earned my degree in Philosophy with a minor in Religion and English.
For those of you who are interested in Astrology, I am a Pisces Dragon. A great book (did I mention that I like to read a lot?) is The New Astrology by Suzanne White. She actually sums up my life very well when she says: "Pisceans born in Dragon years will be touchy and argumentative until they finally stop trying to prove themselves. Then they will become effecient in a chosen profession, stay in a pleasant rut, and cruise around all day dreaming about what to make for dinner."
