I have made this several times. Everyone loves it. Even the kids. Made it for a friend, the day they moved into new home. And her picky son loved it. Next time I would like to try it by mixing it with a small pasta and mixing it all up like \"menicki\" did. I always use a rotisserie chicken.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"12\/10\/2015 14:27","GUID":"9e095b4c89344145b5b0a5688eddb769","MemberId":3315068,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"purplewendy","SubmittedDate":"12\/10\/2015 14:27"},{"Comment":"

this is easy and tastes good, I have also made it using cooked noodles or cooked macaroni, and just mix them all together, then bake, either way it is good<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"08\/30\/2015 14:06","GUID":"FEC6AEC4A3819BDEC771980F486D1BA6","MemberId":87508,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"menicki","SubmittedDate":"08\/30\/2015 14:05"},{"Comment":"

SO GOOD! Made this for a Packer game and ended up in a cheese coma. The only thing I will say is to either thaw the broccoli or use fresh and cut it into smaller pieces. Also I would a bow tie pasta or something similar but still delicious.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"12\/08\/2014 22:15","GUID":"281a2c0959404bddb93e09bc0f9f90e0","MemberId":6486488,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"KerriBalliet","SubmittedDate":"12\/08\/2014 22:15"},{"Comment":"

These were good and very easy and look like more trouble than they are. Make sure you use an alfredo sauce you like.

Delicious recipe! Usually I alter recipes to my personal taste, but this one I stick to it and it comes out great everytime. I also think it reheats well the next day. If you can't find the jumbo shells, you can also use large tube pasta (I'm blanking on the name of it right now).<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"01\/12\/2011 15:03","GUID":"cfba7ad9a6634f5e89c064b38ce0c2fb","MemberId":2209328,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"rachelu","SubmittedDate":"01\/12\/2011 15:03"},{"Comment":"

I have made this several times for potlucks and Christmas party's and never go home with leftovers. After the first time of making these I now bring some copies of the recipe with me and I never take any home!

check the labels on the pasta shells, alfredo sauce, and cheese labels.<\/p>

if you use precooked chicken it would be on the box, or<\/p>

google the carbs in chicken and broccoli that should tell you the carbs in that...<\/p>","CommentId":26,"DateRated":"","GUID":"6dc2bcaeda6646f1a284498d8aac9547","MemberId":3743376,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"dilbert098","SubmittedDate":"05\/09\/2009 14:49"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":27,"DateRated":"01\/14\/2009 11:29","GUID":"5c3dec993b1e435b80635012a0bd4b74","MemberId":1823542,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"klong","SubmittedDate":"01\/14\/2009 11:29"},{"Comment":"
