Ingredients
- 2 cups egg noodles uncooked, 4 ounces
- 2 cups cooked chopped chicken
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup 1 can, see notes for homemade version
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 cup frozen peas or frozen mixed vegetables
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Topping
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
- 2 tablespoons bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon melted salted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the egg noodles al dente (firm) according to package directions. Drain well.
- In a 2-quart casserole dish, combine the cooked egg noodles, shredded chicken, chicken soup, milk, frozen peas, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix the cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, and melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture over the casserole.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. If desired, broil for 1 minute to brown the topping.
Notes
- Seasonings such as thyme or poultry seasoning can be stirred into the sauce. I find canned soup salty enough but you can add additional salt if desired.
- If substituting fresh vegetables, add them to the pasta water during the last few minutes until tender.
- Cook pasta just until it is just al dente.
- If you don't have cooked chicken, simmer chicken breasts in water or broth for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Save the chicken water for cooking the pasta or for soup.
- 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese or Monterey jack can be added to the sauce if desired.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 4 days and in the freezer for 4 months.
- ¾ cup milk
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup light cream
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
