Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (use rotisserie chicken for speed)
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag egg noodles
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen carrots
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, drained noodles, frozen peas, and frozen carrots.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, milk, dried onion flakes, and black pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the soup mixture over the chicken and noodle mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you serve it.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute one can of condensed soup with cream of mushroom soup.
  • If you do not have rotisserie chicken, cook 2 cups of diced chicken breast before starting the recipe.
  • You can prepare this entire casserole, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Add 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
