This was delicious. I wasn't sure about the bacon because it's not traditional with CCB, but 3\/4 is not enough for it to overpower the more delicate flavors. It added good flavor to the dish. I made a few changes: I cooked 3 cups of penne pasta. I used 1 and 1\/2 blocks of cream cheese and 1 heaping teaspoon of chopped garlic as it was melting. I also used 1 cup half & half and 1 cup of whipping cream, and 2 cups of swiss cheese to make it more moist (I read some reviews that it was dry). I did include the onion powder and garlic salt called for in the recipe. The amount called for is very minimal. To also combat dryness, I mixed it all up together in the pot that held the sauce before placing it in the casserole dish. I was afraid if I poured the sauce over the top it would seep down through the entire dish and it would be dry. I added the meats to the sauce first, and then added the pasta at little at a time until I thought the consistency was right. I used most of the pasta...very little unused. I also added 2 quick splashes of half and half as I mixed it in to make sure it remained moist. Pasta absorbs a lot of sauce in any dish. It came out perfectly moist and creamy. It was a big hit. The only other suggestion I have is to be sure you well-season the chicken breasts before cooking them. That greatly enhances the flavor of the dish. I used liberal amounts of garlic powder, onion powder, and season salt and grilled them on a stove top grilling pan. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-01-18","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"jgeiger1229"},"reviewBody":"
Very good, but very rich. Next time I will use 1 cup ckn broth & 1 cup half & half, real onions and garlic. Possibly add mushrooms and green peppers. Also will use crushed ritz instead of bread crumbs. I think this would freeze VERY well without the pasta to have on hand when one is in a pinch.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-02-21","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Grace707"},"reviewBody":"
I'd been wavering about trying this dish as the calory count was just so high. So, I nixed the bacon and crumb topping, used just 4 oz of cream cheese and took the Swiss cheese down to 1 cup. I also saut\u00e9ed 1\/2 cup of diced onion & a couple of cloves of garlic, finely minced, instead of using dried. I also added a tsp each of dried marjoram & parsley to the sauce and let it simmer a bit to soften. This was a huge hit with the whole family and will be going into our monthly rotation for sure.
