I made this tonight for dinner and used LC pasta and LC milk as my only subs which I know wouldnt effect the outcome. This was tasty but my sauce was super runny. I am not sure why. I used regular Velveeta and sour cream. My 7 yr old did scarf it down though and it was extremely easy to prepare. I may bake it in the oven like shapeweaver did next time to "bring it together". Thanks Kit:) XOXO. ***amended to add 1 star. After sitting overnight the sauce thickened up nicely. I suspect I should of waited a bit after making to let the sauce thicken on its own. I was hungry though;)**

I made this on 12/15/08 for the " Kittencal Cook-A-Thon "and as part of mine and SO's dinner.Since there were only two for dinner I did make a few changes.They are as follows,I used 6 ounces of medium sized shell pasta, 8 ounces of velveeta,1/4 cup of sour cream,1/4 cup of milk, and romano instead of the parmesan cheese.And only about 2 cups of chicken were used.After preparing the recipe, I popped it the oven for about 30 minutes to give it a "golden crusty top".The next time this is made, (and it will be made again :) ) that I'm going to use the full amount of chicken. As I said this will be made again.Thanks for posting and,"Keep Smiling :)"
