Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole

This Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole is such an easy weeknight meal and is loaded with comforting flavours. It is made with a creamy mushroom sauce, gooey cheese, shredded chicken and egg noddles.

I have said this before, but I LOVE an easy, throw together dinner such as this one. This Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole is so easy. It is made stove top and it is nearly a one dish meal – the egg noddles are cooked in a separate pot, but then added to the sauce once they are ready.

This recipe calls for two cooked chicken breasts, but you could easily use some rotisserie chicken or even some turkey! This is great for using whatever left overs you might have.

What ingredients do I need to make Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole?

• Extra broad egg noddles
• Red pepper, onion, garlic – Flavour!
• Habinaro pepper – this adds only a tiny bit of heat but lots of flavor. Feel free to leave this out if you don’t want to add it.
• Cream of mushroom soup
• Milk – I used 1%, but you can use whatever you have
• Cheese – I used cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded – or some rotisserie chicken, turkey, whatever you have!

Can this be made ahead?

Absolutely! Prepare the dish as per the recipe and then refrigerate it until you are ready to serve. Place it in a casserole dish and heat it up in the oven until it is warmed through. Add extra cheese on top if you feel!

Can you freeze this recipe?

I find that egg noddles do not warm up again well after freezing. For best taste, I don’t recommend freezing this dish.

How do I make Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole?

First, cook your egg noodles as per package directions and drain. Using a large pan, cook the peppers, onion and garlic. Add in the mushroom soup, milk and cheese to the pan and stir until the cheese has melted. Add in the chicken and egg noddles and stir to warm through.
