Chicken Noodle Casserole
Description
Chicken Noodle Casserole features cubed chicken breast sautéed until cooked through, mixed with partially cooked egg noodles and frozen mixed vegetables. The creamy base incorporates cream of chicken soup, whole milk, shredded cheddar cheese, minced garlic, kosher salt, and coarse black pepper. The mixture is combined gently and poured into a baking dish. Separately, crushed Ritz crackers are toasted in butter to create a browned, crisp topping that is added before baking. The casserole bakes uncovered at 350°F for about 30 to 35 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the topping to brown.
This casserole serves as a comforting main dish suitable for family dinners. The creamy and cheesy combination melds with the chicken and vegetables for a filling meal, while the crispy cracker topping adds a crunchy complement to the soft noodle and chicken filling.
