- Cook a little over half the bag of egg noodles until done.
- In a bowl,combine the chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Mix well.
- In a 9x13 take a small chunk of cold butter and rub the bottom of the pan. This insures that the noodles will not stick or become crispy. (I find that this is the only way that works for me. Using spray Pam has always made my noodles on the side crispy.)
- Spread noodles over greased pan.
- Spread the chicken mixture on top making sure to cover all the noodles well.
- Melt the stick of butter and crumble the whole package of Ritz crackers in it and mix until crackers are saturated. Spread on top of chicken mixture.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°.
- Cook noodles and broccoli to package directions.
- Make sauce by melting butter; add flour, salt, mustard and pepper and stir well.
- Stir in milk til thick, then add cheese and stir til melted.
- Place cooked noodles in bottom of greased casserole, then top with broccoli, then chicken.
- Cover with sauce and bake for 15 minutes.
- Can top with buttered crumbs, if desired.
Tips:
- Use a large skillet to brown the chicken. This will help prevent the chicken from overcrowding and steaming, which will result in a more flavorful dish.
- Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper per pound of chicken.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality egg noodle. This will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a creamy soup that you enjoy. There are many different options available, so choose one that you think your family will like.
- Add some vegetables to the casserole. This will make it more nutritious and colorful.
- Top the casserole with a generous amount of shredded cheese. This will help to brown the casserole and give it a delicious, cheesy flavor.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the casserole from falling apart.
