I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the noodles were a little mushy.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add some chopped broccoli and carrots to the sauce for extra veggies.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.
