Skillet Chicken Noodle Casserole
Description
Skillet Chicken Noodle Casserole is a creamy, baked dish featuring shredded rotisserie chicken and egg noodles cooked in a sauce made by sautéing carrots, onion, and celery in butter with garlic and thyme. Flour is added to create a roux, then chicken stock and whole milk are stirred in and simmered to form a rich sauce. The uncooked noodles are combined with the sauce and chicken in an oven-safe skillet, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, and baked until the noodles are tender and the cheese is bubbling and golden. The blend of vegetables adds subtle sweetness and texture, complemented by the thyme's herbal notes and the mild sharpness of cheddar cheese.
This casserole is best served fresh from the oven, garnished with parsley for a touch of color. It provides a satisfying one-dish meal option and can be paired with a simple salad or steamed vegetables to add brightness to the plate.
