Very good! Careful with the chicken cooking directions if you use large breasts, I ended up drying mine out on accident. I'd also recommend adding some parmesan to the sauce and using 400 instead of 450 in the oven. Other than those things, my family loved it! This will definitely be a kept and tweaked recipe.

We all know, fat has a lot of flavor. So, with all the milk, cream, cheese and butter the recipe incorporated along the tremendous reviews this dish received, I had great expectations. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver. I read a lot of reviews in hopes of nipping any problems in the bud beforehand. I even doubled the sauce. It smelled fantastic and the sauce tasted pretty good on its own (as did the vegetables. But when it all came together, it was - ehh, just ok. Apart from doubling the sauce, I followed the directions perfectly. No problems there. Nothing hard, just time consuming with all the prep. We tried the dish again, for lunch the second day, and the vegetables had a bit more flavor, but overall the dish was a bit dry (in spite of the additional sauce and only moderately flavorful. As much as I love cooking and tweaking recipes, I don't think I'll be making this dish again, anytime soon.

Delicious recipe! I trusted the reviewers, and they were right! Fresh thyme adds a lot to it, as does fresh (good quality Parmesan. I had a dinner guest who disliked mushrooms, but I still wanted to use them. I sauted the mushrooms as specified, then put the sauteed mushrooms in a separate bowl while continuing the recipe. At the end, I combined all ingredients (sauce, chicken, linguine, etc. except the mushrooms. I put some of that in a dish, then added the mushrooms to the rest. I recommend this if someone doesn't like mushrooms. For everyone else, the mushrooms really add to it!

Would not make again. It turned out dry, and it was a great deal of work. Nothing a beginner cook should try. It was okay when it was hot out of oven. Did NOT reheat well.

My husband has gluten sensitivities so we substituted regular pasta for G-free pasta and to make the béchamel sauce we substituted regular flour for garbanzo bean flour (had to increase the amount of butter just slightly. The sauce wasn't initially as thick as it was suppose to be however, after baking it the 25 mins it thickened up quite nicely! My hubby really enjoyed and we will be doing this recipe again! A very nice cold winters night meal!

I served this to 27 family and friends for Christmas Eve dinner. Stellar results. I roasted the chicken breasts uncovered at 375 degrees with olive oil, crunchy sea salt, and freshly ground pepper, instead of sauteing them. This was much simpler and saved time. When the chicken breasts were golden brown and had rested for 15 minutes, they were sliced in half the long way then sliced into quarter inch chunks instead of shredding. The sauce to pasta ratio seemed appropriate, but for peace of mind I had hot chicken broth and whole milk mixture ready to inject under the crunchy top if necessary.

This has become my family's new favorite pasta/chicken recipe. My 18-year old son absolutely loves it. Only change -- if you have larger chicken breasts, sauteing them for 8 minutes total is not enough. I had to put mine into a baking dish and covered them at 350 degrees in the oven to finish them off -- about 15 mins. Because I covered them, they did not dry out at all. Still very tasty after shredding. I reduced the milk at the end, but think 4 cups now is okay. I used baby portabello mushrooms and they were delicious. I also cut down the temp to 400 degrees. Thanks Giada!

This recipe looks to be time consuming, but is very easy to follow. The flavors are excellent. I followed the recipe to the T after watching the video!! The results were better than I I expected.
Great for a dinner party or special occasion.
