I did not have the luxury of making ahead so I used hot chicken broth and added to the mac, then added the other ingredients, had roasted chicken on hand and was great! My husband said its a keeper and my picky kid liked it too although she picked out any vegatable she encountered, thanks!

Yummy! I did use cream of chicken soup vice cream of mushroom. I cubed the left over chicken I had baked for Sunday dinner and then put this recipe together. I topped it with crushed cracked pepper potato chips and popped it in the over for an hour when I got home. A new favorite recipe for sure!
