Ingredients

Scale

Cooked Chicken

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken

Egg Noodles

  • 8 oz egg noodles

Cream of Chicken Soup

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

Mixed Vegetables

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh)

Cheddar Cheese

  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Chicken Broth

  • 1 cup chicken broth

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. This includes shredding your cooked chicken and preheating the oven to 350°F. Having everything at hand will make the cooking process seamless and enjoyable.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Boil a pot of salted water and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside while you prepare the next steps.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked noodles, shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, mixed vegetables, and chicken broth. Stir until well combined, adding seasoning to taste.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly to ensure it cooks uniformly.
  5. Add Cheese and Bake: Top the mixture with a generous layer of cheddar cheese. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a delightful golden crust on top.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the noodles; ensure they are slightly undercooked as they will bake in the oven.
  • Use high-quality ingredients to elevate the flavor of your casserole.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking to set before serving.
  • For a creamier texture, mix in sour cream or cream cheese before baking.
  • Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving for a punch of color and freshness.
