I've made this dish several times, and it's always very popular with my dinner guests. Before you make it, note that the difficulty level is Intermediate. This is NOT a 30 Minute Meal! But I think it's worth the time if you want to make a delicious, very rich, one-dish meal for a dinner party. Recently I knew that a guest did not like mushrooms, so I substituted some zucchini and the result was equally delicious. I agree with the other reviewers who suggested reducing the oven temperature to about 400. Thanks Giada, this is a real winner!

This was a great casserole. Skipped most of the butter and only used butter to make the roux. Used 2 12-oz. cans of chicken, drained and rinsed.

Used Burmuda onion. Subbed homemade turkey broth for the wine. Subbed whole milk for the heavy whipping cream. Subbed homemade turkey broth for the chicken broth.

Skipped nutmeg, peas and parsley.

Used medium shell pasta, subbed grated sharp Cheddar for the Parmesan. No bread crumbs.

Wow. I've tried a lot of recipes on Food Network and this is probably the best one I've ever tried. It took me 2 hours to do it and it was kind of a hassle because everyone was hungry and waiting. There's a lot of work! However, it was all WORTH IT. I've been eating leftovers for the past three days. My sister says that it tasted like it was from Olive Garden. I followed the recipe exactly but I added two more cloves of garlic (I love garlic, and used chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. My friend said that it could use a little more salt but everyone else disagreed. I agreed with the other posts about the dryness - it gets dry after awhile when you keep reheating it for left overs. But when it first came out of the oven, it was perfect. I would probably add more sauce next time so that it remains creamy even after three days.

Delicious! I was a little worried about what other reviewers were saying about it being too dry, however, mine was not dry at all. My husband loved the recipe because he could taste all the flavors, textures, and that no one ingredient was over powering another. We used wheat pasta so that my daughter can eat with fiber. This dish was served with a side of steamed green beans and broccoli.

I thought the recipe was pretty good, not great. It was kind of plain. If I made it again I would make more sauce and not cook it as long, because after baking the dish there wasn't much sauce left. When reheating in the microwave I added some half & half, and it was better. Also, needed more salt than the recipe called for. My 16 yo son loved it. It was too heavy for my healthy eating husband. It did take a long time to prepare from beginning to end. All in all though, I think I would probably make it again.

Delicious! I used broccoli instead of peas (since I didn't have any at the time and loved it. Definitely will make it again. Teenage son had two big helpings. :

There is a lot of prep time, but once it goes in the oven, you have plenty of time to clean your big mess up! I halved the recipe and used 2 large chicken breasts. It was definitely enough for 3 or 4. I also used less butter and oil... There is plenty of other fat to make up for it.

I agree with 4 on the day of and 5 the next day. I just made this for a bridal shower of 25 ladies. They absolutely loved it and asked over and over for the recipe. Definitely have to makeall the sauce as the pasta continues to soak it up. Feeds alot but no reason you can't halve it or freeze it for another day. I did use half and half instead of cream but no other substitutes. A little hard work pays off in the end.

I would rate this a 4 out of the oven, 5 the day after. Leftovers for days.

I wish I could rate this a 4.5 *. This was good but I have another recipe for Chicken Tetrazzini that is much easier and has more flavor. I love Giada and use her recipes often.. This is just not one of my favorites and I will probably not make again.
