- 1.5 cups Ritz crackers, crushed
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked egg noodles, shredded chicken, frozen peas and carrots, and chopped onion to the bowl. Toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated in the sauce.
Transfer the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cracker crumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the crumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this delicious, comforting casserole!
