This was a very tasty dish just as it's written, but I'll also add in some frozen peas & carrots the next time I make it. I love that this recipe doesn't call for a canned soup. I used low sodium chicken broth, so I was (somewhat) able to cut down on the amount of sodium in this dish. All in all, this is a tasty dish - and very E-Z to prepare.

I used rotisserie chicken that I had leftover. I also stirred Parmesan shavings into my white sauce rather than sprinkle on the top. Yummy!

This comment is in response to Spaghetti Kid. Homemade canned chicken is just that. It is chicken that has been canned at home. The process is different but I'm sure you have heard of people canning vegetables, well they may can chicken, tomato sauce and lots of other tasty foods for use at a later time. Most people who live in town don't have time for this but there are a lot of food purests who still do. The Amish included.

I can my chicken by using boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders when they are on sale. I cut these into chunks, pack them in pint jars with salt and fill with water. Then put flat piece and ring on jar and process in the pressure cooker. Hope this helps.

This is a great basic recipe that can be made as written, or modified. I am making it tonight with items in my pantry and freezer. Using whole wheat noodles, omitting the mushrooms, but added a bag of California blend frozen vegetables. (cauliflower, carrots, and broccoli) Also added some chopped onion for additional flavor.Too cold to venture to the store, so using what is on hand for a hot hearty meal in frigid winter weather.

This was very yummy!! When I made it, I used a 12oz bag of edd noodles because that is how they were packaged. It was alittle dry but all it takes for that is either alittle more milk or chicken broth. I also omitted the mushrooms. Definately would make it again!

This was really delicious. I used another type of noodle because that is what I had on hand. I also used homemade canned chicken. I will definitely be making this again.

What do you mean by "seasoned salt"? Accent or Lawry's?

Accent is usually listed as a tenderize, even though it is salty. Lawry's is a seasoned salt. When you use Lawry's, you can see bits and flecks of other seasonings in it. When in doubt, always read your labels.
