Prepare Ingredients
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients so you have everything at your fingertips for smooth sailing while cooking.
-
Cook the Noodles
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
Mix the Casserole
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, vegetables, and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir in the cooked noodles until everything is well incorporated.
-
Season
Add salt and pepper to taste, ensuring that every bite of your casserole is perfectly seasoned with those comforting flavors.
-
Bake
Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
- Use Leftover Chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves you time.
- Don’t Overcook Noodles: Since noodles continue to cook in the oven, al dente is the way to go.
- Cover with Foil: If the cheese browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
- Double the Recipe: This dish freezes well, so you can make a larger batch for future meals.
- Add Sour Cream: For extra creaminess, consider mixing in a dollop of sour cream before baking.
