Review: This tasted like it was SO bad for me! I loved how creamy it came out - it almost tasted cheesy even though I didn't have cheese. I'm going to make this again immediately - wonderful comfort food! Edited to add 9/20/11: I've gathered some feedback via Pinterest and wanted to share: one reviewer mentioned that unless you really like ranch, the ranch flavor could be a bit overwhelming - she suggested not using the entire packet. Another mentioned that for them it was too salty, so using less of the packet may make a difference. We love it as is, but I saw these and thought they may help! I also tweaked the instructions to make it clear that you do NOT cook the chicken beforehand and you do NOT cook the pasta in the dish. I hope this helps, too! And please, if you try it and have recommendations for making it better/changes for next time, feel free to post in the comments below. Thanks!

This looks AMAZING!
It's definitely one of our favorites - it tastes SO bad for you... love that about it. And it's EASY!
Loved this one! Alfredo is so BAD for you, who would have thought this would be a great substitute for a white sauce? I don't always have to cook up read sauced for healthy pastas. Yum.
Made this today, added diced green chiles and mushrooms, made with no yolks noodles, delicious!!
I made this today, with a little modification, and it was AMAZING! I saved time by using precooked canned chicken, so I was able to combine everything into a skillet instead of using a slowcooker. The sauce was creamy, thick and was to die for!
Do you think it would freeze well?
Thannk you
