KITTENCAL'S EASY TUNA OR CHICKEN NOODLE CASSEROLE



Kittencal's Easy Tuna or Chicken Noodle Casserole image

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



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).

Easy Chicken Noodle Casserole Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-11135

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 oz. large elbow noodles
3 C. cooked chicken, shredded
10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup
10.5 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
1 tsp. my house seasoning (equal parts garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper...mix together and store in an airtight container)
1 C. frozen peas and carrots, thawed
1/2 C. frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
1 1/2 C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 C. plain breadcrumbs
1/4 C. panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 T. butter

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to pkg. directions, drain and set aside. In a mixing bowl combine both soups and the seasoning. Stir in the chicken and veggies along with 1 C. of the cheese. Stir in the noodles and combine well. Pour into a lightly greased 9x13 dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese, plain breadcrumbs and panko, dot the top with the butter. Cover with tinfoil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes, uncover and bake and additional 10 minutes. If you want to brown up the breadcrumbs a little more pop it under the broiler for a minute or two.

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.

Conclusion:

This easy chicken noodle casserole is a comforting and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is packed with flavor from the chicken, vegetables, and seasonings, and the egg noodles add a satisfying texture. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can have a delicious and hearty casserole on the table in no time.
