This was easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. I used a 12 ounce bag of bow tie pasta and we had plenty of pasta in the dish with that amount. The only thing I did different in the directions and that was to add step 7 before number 4. This way it was easier to stir and melt the cream cheese. I was not sure if LuvsCookin intended the cream cheese package to be the 3 oz or 8 oz size but I used the 8 oz size. We salted to our taste at the table. Thanks I'll be making this one again.

My husband and I loved this dish. Pretty simple and easy. However, I made a few changes to my dish. I did add the whole package of cream cheese, but I also added half a tub of herb and garlic cream cheese to give it more flavor. It made it creamier. If you don't want it super cream, but want to retain the flavor, thin it out with a little more chicken broth. I also added a green bell pepper and some squash and zucchini. We love to pack our pasta dishes with veggies. I sauted and seasoned the veggies in butter while the pasta was cooking. Lastly, I added a little bit of cajun seasoning. Not so much that it made it a cajun dish, but just a slight hint of flavor.

This was really great! I'm not generally a huge fan of white sauces but I really liked this. I doubled the recipe and sauted my chicken in olive oil instead of butter. Used vegan cream cheese (milk allergy) and no yolk egg noodles just because I didn't have two pounds of the same pasta on hand. Kids inhaled it, I inhaled it, DH inhaled it...Need I say more? Thanks Lali!
