Ingredients

1 generous bundle broccolini, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces or 1 small head broccoli, trimmed and cut into small, thin stalks and florets
Salt
2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast, fat removed
1 medium onion
2 fresh bay leaves
1 pound extra-wide egg noodles
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
2 rounded tablespoons flour
2 cups whole milk
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
A few sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
2 egg yolks
1 cup white or whole wheat panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
A handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

Place a large pot of water on to boil for egg noodles and broccolini. Salt the water and cook the broccolini until tender. Remove to a plate. When the broccolini is cool enough to handle chop it into bite-size pieces.
Place the chicken in a few inches of water with a peeled quartered onion and a couple of bay leaves. Bring the water to a low boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and gently poach the chicken 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in skillet over medium heat and saute the onions and garlic until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the broccolini to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat off pan.
While the onions cook, heat the butter in a medium saucepot over medium heat, whisk in flour 1 minute then whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper, freshly grated nutmeg, and thyme. Thicken 5 minutes then whisk in a little of the sauce to the egg yolks to combine, then add the egg yolks back to the sauce and whisk to combine, turn heat down to the lowest setting.
Cook's Note: If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken poaching liquid and turn off the heat.
Shred the poached chicken with forks or dice poached chicken into small, bite-size pieces.
Preheat the broiler.
To the large pot of boiling water, add the egg noodles. Cook the noodles according to package directions for al dente. Drain the noodles very well and add them back to the hot pot. Stir in the broccolini, chicken, and sauce, and then transfer to a casserole dish. Place the casserole in the middle of the oven and broil 3 to 5 minutes until bubbly and brown. Cool and store for make-ahead meal.
To serve the casserole, heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Mix together the panko, Gruyere, Parm, and parsley. Place the casserole on a baking sheet in upper half of the oven and bake 30 minutes, add the topping and bake 15 to 20 minutes more, or until brown and crispy on top.

Tips:

Prep the casserole ahead of time: You can assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. When you're ready to bake, just take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add or substitute your favorite vegetables in this recipe. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. The best way to tell if the chicken is done is to use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère.
Serve with your favorite sides: This casserole can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a salad.
