    This was good but was a little bit too salty. I did not use the cheese soup, just cheddar cheese. Next time we will use the low sodium soups. This is very tasty non the less. Will make it again with less salt.

    Overall, my family and I liked this recipe. It was just a bit on the salty side. Next time, I’m going to either omit the salt or the cheese soup and see if that cuts down on the saltines.

    This dish was delicious. My whole family loved it. Even my two picky sons enjoyed it. I had to use chicken tenderloins because that was all I had (also, I’m terrible at cutting breasts in half) and it made it easier to serve to my family. I’ll definitely be making this again.
