Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 cups egg noodles, cooked and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool slightly before shredding into bite-sized pieces.
In the same pan, sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, and dried thyme. Mix until well combined and heated through.
Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas to the sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles with the sauce mixture. Mix until the noodles are well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
