Description

This cozy Chicken Noodle Casserole wraps all the comfort of classic chicken noodle soup into a creamy, baked family favorite. Tender egg noodles, juicy shredded chicken, and colorful veggies are tucked into a rich, savory sauce, then finished with melty cheddar and an optional crunchy topping. It’s simple, satisfying, and perfect for busy weeknights or chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or leftover chicken works well)
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional, for breadcrumbs)
  • Nonstick cooking spray or a little oil, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or oil.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add the shredded chicken, cooked egg noodles, frozen mixed vegetables, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  6. If using, in a small bowl mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until evenly moistened, then sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly around the edges and the top is lightly golden. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving so it can set slightly.

Notes

  • Use just-cooked, al dente noodles so they don’t become too soft after baking in the creamy sauce.
  • Rotisserie chicken is a big time-saver and adds great flavor, but any leftover cooked chicken will work.
  • If the mixture looks very thick before baking, you can add a splash more milk to loosen it slightly.
