74% less fat • 49% fewer calories • 42% less sat fat than the original recipe—see the comparison. Clever substitutions such as reduced-fat cream cheese and skim milk substantially reduced the fat in this creamy pasta and tender chicken dish. It's heavenly! From eatbetteramerica.

I made this last night for my boyfriend and we both loved it. It's always a little nerve wrecking to try new recipes, but this one is a keeper. The sauce is wonderful and it gives the chicken a terrific flavor.

Pretty good for a healthy recipe. Even the kids ate it without much fuss.

I made this just a couple days ago I used whole wheat noodles and instead of using the onion and chive cream cheese I used fat free regular cream cheese and added green onions and garlic it was really good my family loved it even my picky dad who isnt a fan of pasta ate the leftovers the next day! I will make this recipe again

Too oniony
I made this tonight with chicken broth instead of the wine as that's what I had available. I ate it and will likely eat the leftovers, but I probably won't make this again. I think the taste of the condensed soup and the oniony flavor of the cream cheese is too prevalent. Maybe it can be tweaked? *shrug* Happy eating!
