A quick and comforting casserole made with leftover chicken, egg noodles, and cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded, about 2 large chicken breasts)
  • 2 cups egg noodles (uncooked)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6 slices)
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook noodles: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook egg noodles until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Make the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Assemble casserole: Stir the cooked noodles, shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of the bacon into the sauce mixture. Mix until evenly coated.
  5. Transfer to dish: Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon evenly on top.
  6. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions if desired.
