Ingredients
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Egg Noodles
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 small Yellow Onion, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 12 ounces Frozen Mixed Vegetables, thawed (1 bag)
- 10 ounces Cream of Chicken Soup
- 10 ounces Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 cup Milk
- ½ cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
- 2 cups Cooked Chicken, chopped
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- Fresh Parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Begin by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Be sure to cook them until they are al dente, as they will continue to cook in the oven later. Drain and set aside.
- Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
- Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions and garlic, thawed mixed vegetables, cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Step 4: Add the cooked egg noodles to the mixture in the mixing bowl. Gently fold the noodles into the mixture until well-coated. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Step 5: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the noodle mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Step 6: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden on top.
- Step 7: Once out of the oven, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
For extra flavor, use rotisserie chicken instead of plain cooked chicken. Make this dish a day ahead and store it covered in the fridge. Feel free to add different vegetables based on your preference.
