Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1.5 cups Sour cream
- 1 can Cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Mix well.
Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, shredded chicken, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) to the sour cream mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Gently fold in the cooked egg noodles until they are fully coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of melted butter (optional, for extra golden topping). Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it is heated through and bubbling, and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
