Chicken would be better diced into noodles

Made it for dinner and the family wanted more. I doubled up on the spices and added some Cayenne. Definitely plan to do this again

I love this recipe I make it all the time. How it’s written is a little all over the place though. If you’re cooking it with chicken, make sure to follow the “with chicken” section. I add more salt and it’s perfect.

Good BASE recipe. Chicken needs to be cooked thoroughly, not just 2 minutes (unless you'd like food poisoning) it also needs a good amount of seasoning as the chicken is very bland going by the recipe being "lightly seasoned" with salt & paprika, next time I'll use much more.
I used twice the amount of red pepper flakes in the pasta than called for and glad I did or we wouldn't have tasted any. It also needs SALT added while cooking as it turns out very bland going by the recipe and as we all know salt brings out existing flavors. I'll keep this recipe but only after making it my own, it needs some work.

Very well received by the family. We’ll make this again.

good basic recipe. needed to add more seasoning so i chose Italian and added a lot of pepper flakes and regular pepper.. kids loved it. we will be making this again

Taste was good, but texture was off. I followed the recipe and the sauce seperated. It was not a creamy sauce.

Ingredients, prep time and spices were almost perfect! added a little salt for flavor. Will cook again.

Easy to make and it is delicious!

This was shear perfection. I will definitely make again. I used extra red pepper flakes because my husband likes spicy foods.

My boyfriend loved it and said it was restaurant quality. I added some Italian seasoning.

Yummly User 5 years ago
Overall tasty! I doubled the recipe, and I did cut up the chicken into slightly smaller pieces, also added more red pepper flakes and lots of garlic and used whole wheat penne (just trying to be a little healthier!) I think next time I will use an Italian blend of cheeses in place of just mozzarella.

I also felt that this was lacking some color but more impotantly, taste. I used some extra garlic, paprika, and salt to no avail. It certainly wasn't a bad recipe, but I probably wont be making it again.

Yummly User 5 years ago
It felt like it was lacking in both substance and color. I used a smoked paprika instead to give a an extra punch as well as some brocolli and carrot to give it a little more color. I also added some chives at the end to give it a little but of and onion hit. That made it a lot nicer for me personally but you milage may vary. I would also reccomend sauteeing the chicken in the oil from the tomatoes, it adds a nice depth of flavor.

it was sooo good. i agree with others on the fact it was a little bland, so Season season season! i added onion pepper, pepper, salt, garlic salt, added alot of flavor. also added extra hot red flakes, i never would of thought to add those, i now add them to alot of my dishes as me and my man love spicy. so glad i found this app. we are eating better than ever! will def make this again next time going to try a diff protein like turkey sausage or shrimp.

I absolutely loved this I used chicken thighs and it was very tender and moist. I also used extra red pepper flakes to add more kick to it. My husband loved it so much he ate leftovers for 2 days.

Yummly User 5 years ago
Delicious, will have to teak with sauce a little next time.

The cheese didn’t mix very well and became clumpy. The whole recipe lacked flavour.

Yummly User 5 years ago
Always a quick and yummy recipe I use cayenne pepper instead of flakes because I can have the seeds. Still maintains the flavor.

It was good but I added a little more cheese to thicken

Added onions and mushrooms and chicken stock to deglaze the pan but otherwise great!
