In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth. - Combine Everything:
Pour the creamy sauce over the noodle and chicken mixture. Stir well to coat all the ingredients thoroughly. - Assemble & Bake:

Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving for a touch of freshness.
