Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 3 cups Egg noodles, uncooked
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions recommend. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Add the shredded chicken, cooked egg noodles, thawed peas and carrots, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixing bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, mix together the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle the cracker topping evenly over the cheese layer.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley or serve as is. Enjoy your creamy chicken casserole!
