Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and shred into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and egg noodles until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and stir until they are lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in 0.25 cup of grated Parmesan cheese if using.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole, followed by the toasted panko breadcrumb mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Crispy Chicken Casserole!
