Hmmm - that even looks like something I'd eat, and I'm pretty picky. Looks good!!!
This recipe looks good ( and easy )
=)
Thanks so much for sharing!
You do not have Cream of chicken soup in the ingredient list is it included in your points plus calculation? Just wanted to verify.
Dana - The Ingredients called for 2 cups cream of mushroom soup. However, when I made this I only had 1 can of cream of mushroom soup so, I used 1 can of cream of chicken to make two cans. I did the pointsplus values based off of the 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, like the recipe says. Thanks for your questions!
Thank you for clearing that up for me. Can't wait to try it.
don't you have to cook the chicken?
I did not cook the chicken in advance. I let it cook all together in the oven.
It's hard to believe a casserole this delicious looking could be so low in points. Wonderful!
oooooh adding this to my list of things to make soon. Thinkin I will toss in some peas or broccoli too.....
I am making this for dinner tonight :) Subbing one can of cream of broccoli and adding shredded broccoli. I can't wait!
Yummy! This looks really good :) (and YAY you don't have to cook the chicken ahead of time! Makes it even easier!) I would love to sub in broccoli like PP's and maybe some Sun-dried tomatoes, YUM! Husband will love this. Thanks for sharing!
Can this be frozen and used at a later time. As a freezer meal?
Anonymous - I have never tried to freeze this meal and save it for later. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out.
Do you know the calorie count?
Anonymous - I do not know the calorie count for this recipe.
I cooked mine for 40 min covered at 350 and when I uncovered it, my chicken was raw. Put it back in for longer. My pieces looked about the same size as your picture. Any suggestions?
would you say 1 serving is about 1 cup?
Anonymous - I am not sure why your chicken didn't cook all the way. You can always feel free to cook the chicken first, before you put it in the bottom of the pan.
I think a serving is about 1 cup.
I just made this tonight, and it was fantastic!!! Thanks for the great find
Is this about a cup, per serving?
Made this tonight and it was a big hit! Mine turned out a little soupier than the picture, but otherwise it was great! I also used one can of each soup and when I calculated the points it was still 6 points/serving. I did cook the chicken prior to layering the casserole and I used rigatoni pasta. Will be making this again!
Have you tried this with your SOS cream soup alternative?
Hi. Found your blog while searching for some WW recipes. Tried this one tonight and my kids LOVED it. Not a small task since I have 5 kids and I can't remember a time when they all agreed on a meal. My son just ate some leftovers... I was a little worried about how the uncooked chicken would work out - no problem. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE this recipe!!! I've made it three times now. It's similar to chicken Alfredo but without all the fat!! The only thing I do different is I bake the chicken first, then add it to the casserole and bake per directions. Seems to make the chicken a little more tender.
I don't like mushroom soup at all have you tried with different soups? Any suggestions on a different soup
I made this recipe with a few tweaks. I seasoned the chicken with a generous amount of Adobo seasoning. I also used egg noodles in place of macaroni. Trying to save WW points, I halved the amount of chicken, cheese and milk. I used one can of cream of chicken and one can of cream of mushroom (instead of two). I also added broccoli. It came out really great - doesn't taste like a Weight Watchers recipe at all! The entire dish was 40 Points +. I highly recommend this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Did you cook macaroni all the way. Or jist a pittle. Does it come out soggy after baking??
Just made this. Wow. Really good. Rich creamy and does not taste like diet food. Will add this to my casserole rotation for sure...
I'm not going to lie. I didn't have high hopes for this recipe. I figured it would be okay but it was so easy my son made it!! It was wonderful. Because we were short on time, we chunked the chicken and sauteed w/ the onions. We used pre-cooked leftover pasta and used cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups. Reduced fat cheddar and they decided to add a few crushed Ritz crackers on top. I think I had maybe 1/2 c left for leftovers. Huge hit in our house and will be perfect for cold winter days! This will most surely be going into our rotation. Bonus points for WW PP. My family has no idea they ate something that wasn't horrible for them. You'd really never know by the taste.
This is a very easy and delicious recipe.
