★ Why You'll Love this Recipe ★

This recipe is as simple to make as lasagna — even easier since you don't even need to layer. Made with cooked chicken and noodles in a creamy, seasoned white sauce, plus veggies, it's a full meal in one pan.

Serve with a side salad and garlic bread to make this go even further. I find this feeds up to 10 people easily. So it's great for small gatherings or big families.

Made with egg noodles, this stores well, so leftovers can be taken for lunches.

★ Ingredients You'll Need ★

You'll need some pantry staples and pre-cooked chicken, making this a simple go-to dinner with ingredients you may already have on hand.

Here's everything you'll need:

Chicken. I used cooked shredded rotisserie chicken breasts.
Wide egg noodles. Try no-yolk noodles to cut fat.
Frozen peas and carrots. Thaw first by running under warm water to cut down bake time.
Cream of chicken soup. You can use canned or make your own white sauce and add chicken bouillion if you prefer.
Cream of mushroom soup. Canned or make your own white sauce and add chopped, cooked (or canned) mushrooms.
Sour cream. I prefer to use the full-fat variety for the best flavor.
Milk. Any type works. Lighter milks will be less creamy but lower in fat.
Seasonings: Garlic salt, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Colby Jack cheese. Or choose your cheese of choice.
Ritz Crackers - Crushed. These are optional but add a nice crunch to the top. Feel free to skip these if you'd like.

★ Tips & FAQs ★

How to store, heat, and freeze:

Chicken Noodle Bake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or microwave until heated through.

To Freeze: Assemble the casserole without baking. Cover tightly with foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.

*NOTE: Egg noodles can sometimes become soft after freezing. To avoid this, undercook the noodles slightly before assembling the casserole and ensure there’s plenty of sauce to keep the dish creamy.

What are substitutions that I can make?

Colby Jack Cheese: Swap with Monterey Jack or sharp cheddar for a different flavor. You can also use a blend of cheeses for added flavor.

Frozen Peas and Carrots: Use fresh or canned vegetables instead. You can also use different veggies entirely. Keep the quantity the same if making a substitution.

What should I serve with this Chicken Noodle Bake?

Serve with a roasted vegetable or simple side salad, garlic bread, and/or dinner rolls for a complete meal.
