This dish is way too cheesy for my taste. I couldn't even finish it.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can't seem to get it right. The sauce is always too thin and the chicken is always dry.

This was my first time making King Ranch Chicken Casserole and it was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland.
