Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
2
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked egg noodles, cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, frozen peas and carrots, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh parsley (if using). Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
3
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
4
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the plain breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
5
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly around the edges and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
6
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set slightly, making it easier to serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade cream sauce instead of canned soup?

Absolutely! For a homemade touch, you can make a simple béchamel sauce (roux of butter and flour, then milk) seasoned with chicken broth and herbs. Use about 2 cups of homemade sauce for this recipe.

What kind of cooked chicken works best?

Leftover roasted chicken, rotisserie chicken, or chicken breasts boiled and shredded all work wonderfully. The key is to have pre-cooked, tender chicken.

Can this casserole be prepared ahead of time and baked later?

Yes, you can assemble the casserole (without the breadcrumb topping) up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Add the breadcrumb topping just before baking. You might need to add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
