Chicken Noodle Casserole
Description
In this casserole, egg noodles are cooked to a tender state and then combined with cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, peas, carrots, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. The mixture is transferred to a baking dish and covered with foil to bake until heated through, allowing the flavors to meld and the casserole to become creamy.
The dish finishes with a sprinkling of parsley which adds a fresh herb note. The texture is softly cohesive, with creamy sauce enveloping the noodles and bite-sized pieces of chicken and vegetables providing variety. This casserole is versatile in the types of veggies and chicken used, accommodating leftovers or preferred blends.
It pairs well with simple sides or salads for a balanced meal and can be prepared ahead by cooking the chicken and noodles in advance. The use of wide egg noodles helps the dish maintain texture after baking. Frozen vegetables provide convenience without sacrificing taste.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles uncooked
- 4 cups chicken cooked, chopped
- 2 ounce cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 cups pea or frozen mixed vegetables, frozen
- 2 cups carrot or frozen mixed vegetables, frozen
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9"x13" pan with cooking spray.
- Cook the egg noodles according to package directions.
- In a large bowl, combine the noodles, chicken, soup, milk, cheese, peas and carrots, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the noodle mixture in the prepared dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Notes
- Use leftover, roasted, or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Extra wide egg noodles help maintain texture better in the casserole but standard wide noodles will also work.
- Frozen peas and carrots can be replaced by any small-cut frozen vegetable blend.
