Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep:
   Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to keep the casserole from sticking.
2. Mix the Base:
   In a large bowl, combine the egg noodles, shredded chicken, frozen corn, diced onion, shredded cheese, and bacon. Stir everything together until evenly distributed.
3. Make the Sauce:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Everything:
   Pour the creamy sauce over the noodle and chicken mixture. Stir well to coat all the ingredients thoroughly.
5. Assemble & Bake:
   Spread the mixture into your prepared baking dish in an even layer. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
6. Garnish & Serve:
   Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving for a touch of freshness.
