This delicious Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole is ideal for cozy weeknight dinners. It combines tender chicken, creamy sauce, and colorful veggies for a satisfying meal the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken diced
- 12 oz egg noodles cooked and drained
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup peas and carrots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt and black pepper to taste
- breadcrumbs optional for topping
- chopped parsley optional for garnish
- diced celery optional add-in
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prepare it for your comforting casserole.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and garlic powder. Season this mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring until it forms a smooth and creamy base.
- Gently incorporate the diced chicken, cooked egg noodles, peas, and carrots, along with the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring every ingredient is enveloped in that rich sauce.
- Spread the creamy mixture evenly into the greased baking dish. If you desire a crunchy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs or extra cheese on top before baking.
- Slide your baking dish into the oven and let it bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it’s hot, bubbly, and the top is just beginning to turn a lovely golden brown.
- Once it's out of the oven, let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes. Finish with a sprinkle of parsley for a fresh touch before serving.
