"My wife, Jennie, is a wonderful cook who's generally skeptical about my kitchen experiments. But she likes this recipe well enough to give me temporary kitchen privileges...and even encouraged me to enter this contest! If you can't find the soup called for here, nacho or cheese soup make easy substitutes," suggests Mike Kirschbaum in Cary, North Carolina.

This dish was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the sauce was watery. I won't be making this recipe again.

The sauce was a little too thick for my liking. I would thin it out with some milk or broth next time.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but this dish was so good that I didn't even notice them. The sauce was amazing.

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The chicken and beans were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.
