I made this with ham instead of chicken. Really yummy! Also used Velveeta for cheese since that's what I had. Would be good to serve kids or a potluck.

I used only 1/2 lb of pasta, which was perfect with the amount of chicken and broccoli called for. I also used only 2 c. of milk as someone suggested and cut the paprika to 1/2 tsp and the dijon mustard to 1 1/2 tsp. The sauce still had a kick, but wasn't too strong. I also tossed the cheese in flour before adding it as someone suggested, and I didn't have a problem with the texture of the sauce. I only had mild cheddar, but I still thought the sauce had good flavor. I did add more salt. Over all a good recipe.

To all of those saying the cheese sauce is too grainy: toss it in flour first, enough to coat the cheese. Then slowly add it in, stirring the whole time. This is a technique used to make fondue smooth. It worked for me!

Leftovers on this is definitely fantastic.

Yummy, creamy, and plenty for about 6 people or major leftovers! Definately used about 1 Tblsp extra flour to help thicken the cheese. The broccoli was great. Will definately make it again. Would be good to put in a casserole dish and top with bread crumbs for a party!

I love this recipe, I have been using it for quite a while and passed it on in FaceBook...Yes, it is a little runny the first day, I would suggest you add a little more flour to the sauce, before you add the cheese and let it really thicken. The thing is the next day,(make lots for leftovers it thickens up as the pasta soaks up the sauce. OMG this recipe is delicious...Saw Rachael make it on TV and we all love it.

Would not thicken, and I couldn't find something big enough to platter the dish, it needs to be scaled down BIG time, oh and I baked it cuz it was really runny, idk how it tastes yet but definitely not something i'll make again

I'm not a sharp cheddar person, I'm more for mild. I wonder if fontina would work in this? I had to add some garlic and it does need lots of salt. But still goo.d

I was sooo happy because it was easy to make and quick, and it was also tasty for the kids! I love Rachel Ray's shows and recipes, but this was the first one I finally tried! Thanks Rachel! You are awesome! And congratulations for the award!

Like everyone else, I thought the sauce was very grainy. I added a boatload of salt and pepper, or this would have been bland as cardboard. I think I am going to search for an Emeril mac n' cheese recipe next time I'm in the mood for it. I'd skip this one!
