Equipment

  • Large baking dish (9x13 recommended)
  • Large pot for cooking noodles
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoon or spatula for mixing

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 12 oz egg noodles (cooked and drained)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup frozen peas, 1/2 cup diced carrots, 1/2 cup chopped broccoli
  • Optional topping: 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers for a crispy top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Boil egg noodles in salted water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  • Add cooked chicken, cooked egg noodles, and half of the cheddar cheese to the sauce. If you’re adding vegetables (like peas, carrots, or broccoli), mix them in as well. Toss until everything is coated.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top. If you like a crunchy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs or crushed crackers over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
