EASY CHICKEN NOODLE CASSEROLE
I love a good casserole. You just can't beat a tasty and filling meal that is all in one baking dish. This one is made with easy to find ingredients. In fact, you probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry right now.
CAN I FREEZE CHICKEN NOODLE CASSEROLE?
Casseroles were (and still are) perfect for every occasion. They are so comforting and most casseroles freeze really well. This casserole I'm sharing with you today is creamy, chicken-y deliciousness. We love it so much, we freeze the leftovers to have for a whole other meal later in the week or later in the month. That's another bonus about casseroles. If you make too much, they make fantastic leftovers.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE:
- Feel free to use store-bought rotisserie chicken or any leftover chicken meat you may have (grilled chicken also tastes wonderful with this recipe.)
- Cream of mushroom or creamy of celery are also good substitutes for the cream of chicken.
- Regular bread crumbs or crushed Ritz crackers can be substituted for the panko bread crumbs.
- I have not tried making this recipe in a crock pot to Instant Pot but if you try it, please let me know!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
egg noodles
canned chunk chicken breast
cream of chicken soup
mayonnaise
milk
onion
shredded cheddar cheese
frozen peas and carrots
panko bread crumbs
salted butter
HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN NOODLE CASSEROLE:
If you haven't done so already, cook egg noodles and drain well. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, milk (or water), diced onion, shredded cheese and frozen peas and carrots. Stir until combined.
Gently stir in cooked egg noodles.
Pour in baking dish. Sprinkle top with bread crumbs.
Pour melted butter evenly over top of bread crumbs.
Bake uncovered for about 30-35 minutes until bubbly and top is golden brown.
