Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots (cooked or canned)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers or breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.

2. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

4. Add the cooked noodles, shredded chicken, peas, carrots, onion, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.

5. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.

6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top.

7. In a small bowl, mix crushed crackers or breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.

8. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

9. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

For best results, use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience.

You can substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery if desired.

Add extra vegetables like corn or green beans to make it even heartier.

Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully in the oven or microwave.
