Chicken and Penne Florentine image

We are on a tight schedule with a high schooler in the house and we try to work out at YMCA after work during the week, so we look for quick casseroles that we can just heat and eat. Found this on the internet and it is YUMMO! Hope you enjoy as much as we do.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out terrible. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

Not a fan of this recipe. The sauce was too heavy and the chicken was overcooked. I won't be making this again.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit. The creamy sauce and tender chicken are a perfect combination. I usually add some extra spinach and mushrooms to bulk it up.

Meh. I thought this recipe was just okay. The sauce was a little bland for my taste, and the chicken was a bit dry.
