This is a delicious casserole that can be made using either tuna or 1-1/2 cups or more of cooked cubed chicken or even cooked turkey --- for a thinner sauce use 1 cup of milk or half and half instead of 3/4 cup, prep time includes boiling the egg noodles, if you are not a garlic-lover then you may omit the garlic powder and to zing the flavor up even more add in 1-1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice

EASY CHICKEN NOODLE CASSEROLE
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).

Tips:
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is safe to eat.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as diced carrots, celery, or peas. This will add extra flavor and nutrition to the dish.
- Adjust the seasonings to your taste: The recipe provides a basic seasoning profile, but you can adjust it to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other herbs and spices as desired.
- Use a quality egg noodle: The type of egg noodle you use can make a big difference in the final dish. Look for a high-quality egg noodle that is made with fresh eggs and has a good texture.
- Don't overcook the noodles: When cooking the egg noodles, be careful not to overcook them. They should be cooked al dente, meaning they are still slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a casserole dish with a lid: A casserole dish with a lid will help to keep the moisture in the dish and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the casserole rest before serving: Once the casserole is baked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
