This was great! 4 out of 5 in my family loved it; so I will totally be making this again. (The one that didn’t hardly eats anything, so she doesn’t really count.)
This was so quick and easy. My whole family devoured it. It will definitely be going into the dinner rotation! Hard to believe it’s only 4 points!
Oh, that’s so awesome!! Thank you for the great review! I’m happy to hear your family loved it too!
This is so dang good! Made tonight and hubs was suspicious of it but he really likes it. Serve with a side of spaghetti, perfect. I left the cheese off to save some points and I think was fine, it was very creamy.
Soo soo good! Doesn’t feel like this is is low point at all, aka the best type of dinner!
This was good. I served this over some steamed brocc. Yummy!

Yes, you will want to use cooked shredded chicken.
This is one of THE BEST recipes that I have blindly tried! Thank you!!
