First of all this recipes will never fit in a 2 qt. container. That's no big deal....just a warning. I have to give this recipe a D- because my taste buds told me to do so. I don't want to be too negative because we are all here so the same reason ....I suspect. With all the positive ratings, I figured I couldn't miss except for the fact it's not the "healthy recipe" of the year. The taste had a strong hint of mayo, but little else. It was actually a thick blob with a consistency of glue. I've prepared tons of noodles over the years, but I couldn't understand why the noodles appeared somewhat overcooked. Keep those recipes coming.....PLEASE!!!! Thanks in advance for sharing.
Great. Plus makes a ton of food. We lightly sautéed the veggie in a tablespoon of oil and added salt and pepper and paprika and hot sauce. Perfect. Honestly. We will make it again and again... adding mushrooms and green chili’s.
I absolutely love this recipe! I have made this multiple times for my elderly parents and inlaws and they just love it. I made a couple of changes- I saute the vegetables first in 2 tablespoons of butter. Then I add the rotisserie chicken and 2 more tablespoons of butter and season with Nature's Seasoning to taste. I pour the chicken and veggies in a bowl and let cool while Noodles are cooking in chicken broth. I mix the mayo, lemon juice and soup and pour over chicken and veggies. I used a can of Cream of Herb and Chicken Soup. Then mix in cheese and put in dish. I have found that I can get 2 pans of 8X8.
I don't generally make recipes that use alot of store bought ingredience but l thought this would be interesting. Well it was very good, it reheated beautifully. this would be terrific to make ahead in the afternoon. i'll make this again. Janet VFE
Solid recipe, comforting dish. Not much of a spark to it, but you can add something to zip it up. We liked the diced sweet pepper and onions. Mayo adds moisture. Can see this being a potluck dish or one I would bring to a new mom/sick friend, etc.
Frances: i also have one who does not like green peppers. I substitute celery.
I made this n left out the peppers as my husband doesn’t like them. It was good and he even liked it. He usually doesn’t eat pasta as he’s a diabetic but he ate all I put on his plate. He’s bedridden and I’m trying to watch his weight. I will try some of the other peoples suggestions for more flavor.
This recipe is a keeper. Wife and Sister in Law loved it. I didn't put in the lemon juice because I didn't have any.
We absolutely loved this recipe. Easy to make and the peppers added a crunch and flavor. Nice and cheesy too.
Can sour cream be used instead of mayo?
