      Rotel is a brand of diced tomatoes. Any brand will work fine.

    Rotel is a brand of canned diced tomatoes that contain diced chilies. Found in most grocery stores.

    I don't see tomatoes in the picture, do they cook down?

      Hi Terry! They are pretty small and I must not have got any in this shot! You could omit them if you don't like them, but we prefer it with the Rotel!

    Has anyone tried this as a "freezer meal"? If so, how did you like it?

    Just want to double check... 1 cup cheddar cheese = 1 cup SHREDDED cheddar cheese. Right? Also... Is it the Rotel with the green chiles or just the tomatos?

    Do you mix the soup with water?

      It should freeze fine in an airtight container.

    What kind of French onion dip did you use.

      be careful as rotel comes with peppers not terribly spicy depending on how much u use if u don't like spicy (meaning hot spicy) get the can without the peppers.

        For the French Dip, is it the powder or in liquid form?

          I guess you could say it's a solid. You can find it bottled on the store shelf. (Lay's French onion dip on the chip aisle.) It's also in the refrigerated section by the dips.

    This was delicious, I made as directed and added the Rotel, mild with green chiles, it gave it a nice added flavor. Will definitely make it again.

    Did you boil the chicken or pan sear it or does it matter?

      OMG this makes a LOT!! It barely fit in my 9x13 pan. For a family of 4 I’d say half everything!

      We boiled our chicken and then diced it up ahead of time.

    This was SO simple and delicious! This is the second recipe that I have tried of yours. Both times I thought the recipe seemed too simple but BOTH times proved me wrong. I love this!!!!

    Do you add the pasta first and pour soup mixture on top, or do you mix everything together and then add to the baking dish? Did I somehow miss a step?

      It's in the directions. Cook the egg noodles and set aside. Then in a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, soup, onion dip, diced tomatoes and cheese. Then fold in the egg noodles that you set aside earlier. And then add all to the prepared pan. Hope this helps.

    I keep looking back at the recipe wondering if I did something wrong but its all exactly as I did. This recipe was terrible. The dip with the Rotel, and cream of chicken is gross. Not one single person in my family would eat this. We eat all of the items that are in this recipe but I wouldn't recommend putting them together.

    Do you really mean to use 7 (seven) chicken breasts? That seems like a lot. Thank you

      Thanks for catching that. It should be more like 4-5 depending on their size.
