"It's no italian sausage ziti" says my husband but treated he and kids just fine for a Thursday night dinner. I used real cheddar instead of velveeta and left over brown rice. I used fresh broccoli and cauliflower florets. My kids ate it and that is all that really matters. thanks for helping me out in a bind.

    Yummy! It was the perfect "comfort" food for a chilly day. Had to do without the Velveeta (thought it was in the fridge and it wasn't!) so I substituted another can of Cream of Chicken Soup. Also omitted the mushrooms as no one in our house will eat them and used leftover rotisserie chicken. Will definitely make it again, and next time I'll be sure to have Velveeta. My picky 2 1/2 year old loved it...what more is there to say?

    I found it a little salty, but that would be easily solved by using a low sodium soup. I would also recommend that you drain the juice from the chicken before adding the other ingredients, as the final product was quite runny until it was chilled. I would like to try this without the velveeta as well... if anyone has tried this let me know how you did it. Serving it with a toasted garlic ciabbatta bun really topped it off.

    I made this recipe tonight, and it was excellent! I liked all the ingredients in this dish. I wouldn't change a thing. My son especially liked all the cheese.
