Ingredients
12 ounces egg noodles
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the egg noodles in salted water until just al dente, then drain them well.
3. In a large bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cheddar cheese.
4. Fold in the shredded chicken, peas, carrots, onion, and cooked noodles until everything is evenly coated.
5. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
6. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter.
7. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
9. Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
Do not overcook the noodles before baking, or the casserole can turn too soft instead of holding its creamy texture perfectly.
