Notes
If chicken mixture seems dry, add up to 1 cup milk along with cream of chicken. You can use your favorite flavor cream soup.
Be sure to cook only 2 cups of macaroni, or 1/2 of a 1 pound box. Cook according to package directions before assembling casserole.
You can use your favorite cheese or blend here. I like half cheddar and half Colby.
