Cheesy Chicken Pasta

Instructions are inaccurate. Presentation was beautiful, however if I was a novice in the kitchen this casserole would have been a disaster. The recipe is easy to follow. The instructions are simple and well written, but the ratio of cheese to liquid is way off so are the times for reduction. In the end I found it simpler and more effective to add another cup and a quarter of cheese. If you don't want to add more cheese, set aside 1 cup of milk and make your cheese sauce out 2 cups milk and 3 TBS flour or 1 and 1/2 TBS cornstarch. I added a dash of Nutmeg otherwise the sauce tastes a bit flat. Instead of white wine I used chicken broth. I don't usually have alcohol on hand. I also added some garlic to give it just a little more flavor. The recipe is good for someone who doesn't mind playing a round of Kitchen detective, Though I strongly recommend that those looking for a quick meal or people just learning how to cook find a different recipe. Pros: Loved the idea, the cauliflower, penne and green onion were beautiful Cons: The sauce recipe had to be majorly tweeked!

Easy and delicious This dish was delicious. I was just going to reheat some leftover chicken breasts with veggies, but I found this, and boy, am I glad! The sauce texture was delightful, not entirely smooth and creamy, but hardy. The flavour was bold (especially if you add enough fresh-ground pepper). Nothing boring about this dish (it could use more colour though for my liking). I made a few substitutions based on available ingredients - broccoli for cauliflower, light mozzarella and marble cheeses in place of the Gruyere with the addition of some Parmesan, and salt-free beef broth in place of the wine. I also added zucchini for more vegetables. I could not be more pleased with the result. To those who said the sauce didn't thicken up, cook it for longer over higher heat (make sure to keep stirring so it doesn't burn). The 1-minute suggestion to thicken the sauce is not even enough to bring the sauce to a boil. Make sure you bring it to a boil!!! and reduce heat when you reach the desired consistency. I cooked mine a bit too long and added more beef broth to thin it out - still fantastic. I will definitely make this again and again and recommend it to anyone looking to give leftover chicken a bit of pizazz.

Wonderful Dish This recipe is amazing! I changed it a bit and used rice instead of pasta because I'm not a pasta person but yeah it was great! I definitely recommend it for its deliciousness and easiness. Pros: Delicious! Cons: Bit Longer Than Expected
