Ingredients

IngredientAmount
Wide egg noodles, dried12 oz
Cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftovers)3 cups
Condensed cream of chicken soup2 cans (10.5 oz each)
Whole milk2 cups

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Cook the Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until just under al dente, approximately 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest. Drain thoroughly.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4: Combine the Ingredients

Add the shredded chicken to the sauce mixture and stir well. Fold in the cooked noodles, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 5: Bake Covered

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbling.

Step 6: Finish Baking

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the edges to become lightly golden and some of the noodles to develop a slight toasted texture.

Step 7: Rest and Serve

Allow the casserole to rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the sauce thicken slightly and makes serving easier.

Enjoy this creamy, comforting casserole as an easy family meal, a make-ahead dinner, or a dependable potluck favorite.
