Easy Chicken Noodle Casserole image

It is easy to prepare and everyone I have made it for really likes it! Serve with bread and your favorite vegetables, if desired. (Note: You can also use 2 pounds of chicken breast meat instead of a whole chicken; I like to cook my chicken ahead of time and freeze it, so that it is even quicker to make when I'm ready).

1/4 cup butter (2 tablespoons whole and 2 tablespoons melted)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups leftover filling from Chicken Pot Pies, recipe follows
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 (16-ounce) package egg noodles, par-cooked and drained
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 box pie crust
1 whole (4-pound) chicken, cut into parts

3 stalks celery, diced
2 carrots, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray casserole baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the whole butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook while constantly stirring for 2 minutes, to cook out the raw flour taste. Add the milk while whisking, until you have a smooth sauce. Stir in the chicken pot pie filling and bring to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, add the bread crumbs, the 2 tablespoons of remaining melted butter, the parsley, and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the pot pie mixture and the noodles. Stir in the cheese and pour it into the casserole dish.
  • Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the casserole and bake until the top is golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the pie crust according to the package directions. Divide it into 4 equal portions, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the chicken breast in a medium pot and cover with 5 cups of water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat and add salt, to taste. (Reserve the legs and thighs for another use.)
  • Simmer until the chicken is completely cooked through, skimming any fat that rises to the surface, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken, to a cutting board and when cool enough to handle remove the meat and dice into 1/2-inch cubes. Reserve the broth the chicken was cooked in.
  • In a medium pot heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, carrots, salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, poultry seasoning, and thyme and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the reserved 4 1/2 cups of chicken broth, whisking to remove any lumps. Add the chicken and peas, bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. (Reserve 2 cups for another use.)
  • Divide the remaining mixture between 4 (14-ounce) ramekins. (Alternately, the pot pie can be made in 1 (9-inch) pie pan.)
  • Roll out the 4 pieces of pie dough to 1/4-inch thick rounds. Brush the edges of the ramekins with milk. Cover each ramekin with a piece of dough and press around the edges to seal. Cut a steam vent in the top of each piece of dough and brush with milk. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 40 to 45 minutes.
