“I love this recipe, I don't add the milk, but use garlic and herb cream cheese, copious amounts of it. Always double the pesto and parmesan, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. It's a winner iny house, one pan dinners are my absolute favourite, much less washing u” — a cook, 5★
“This recipe was not good for me. I would do it completely different next time. I would cook the chicken with only a small amount of oil in the cast iron to get it browned on high, and cook the noodles separately. There was not enough broth to cook the noodles,” — a cook, 1★
