Ingredients
boneless skinless chicken breasts – Instead of baking the chicken pick up a rotisserie chicken to cube. Or substitute leftover turkey, cubed ham, or tuna for the cooked chicken. egg noodles – I used egg noodles because their wide, flat shape absorbs flavors and sauces beautifully, and the texture pairs well with the other ingredients. If you don’t have egg noodles two popular options are wide or extra-wide ribbon noodles and pappardelle. condensed cream of mushroom soup condensed cream of chicken soup sour cream Veggies – I used fresh broccoli and carrots. If using frozen, thaw first and drain excess water to avoid a watery casserole. You can also add vegetables such as a vegetable medley, frozen peas, or bell peppers. salt and pepper butter Ritz crackers – Use French fried onions, seasoned bread crumbs, or cornflakes instead of crushed crackers.
Just Mix and Bake!
Make Ahead + Store
Make a freezer meal. If you plan on freezing, undercook the noodles and leave off the cracker topping. Once the chicken broccoli noodle casserole has been assembled, before baking, place it in an airtight freezer-safe container. Store in the freezer for 4-6 months. To reheat, place the easy chicken noodle casserole in a baking pan and top with crackers. From frozen, bake at 400°F for 55 minutes or until hot. From thawed in the fridge, bake, covered, for 35-40 minutes or until hot. STORE. Store leftover creamy chicken noodle casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat. Use the oven to reheat large portions: 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until hot. For single servings heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until hot.
