    ⭐ Tips

    ✔️ Be sure to cook your egg noodles until they are just al dente - firm to the bite. You do not want the noodles to become mushy when you bake the casserole.

    🍲 Storage

    To Store: Leftover chicken and noodle casserole can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)

    To Reheat: Individual portions can be reheated in the microwave.

    There is special about this easy but comforting chicken noodle casserole!

    📖 Variations

    I love that this easy chicken casserole is super versatile. You can add whatever veggies you like to the chicken mixture. While I used corn, carrots, and peas, you could add broccoli, green beans, pearl onions, or whatever other veggies you like.

    We recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card the first time you try it. That's because we test all our recipes to make sure they taste delicious. However, the next time you make our chicken noodle bake recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:

    • This recipe can also be made using leftover holiday ham or leftover turkey. You can also use ground chicken or chicken thighs. I've even made it with ground sausage. It's so good!
    • Add a sprinkle of bread crumbs or crushed Ritz crackers over the top of the casserole before baking for a little crunch. I've even heard of people putting crumbled potato chips on top! A little bit of parmesan cheese on top is good, too.
    • I prefer to use homemade cream of chicken soup, however, any cream soup, such as cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup will work.
    • Add ¼ cup of sour cream to the soup mixture for extra creaminess and a little tang.
    • For this easy chicken noodle casserole recipe, I use wide egg noodles, but you can use other types of short pasta as well.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    Since this hearty meal is packed with veggies, noodles and protein, you really don't need a side dish. However, a light salad is always a great addition. My family is all about the carbs so I often serve this chicken casserole with buttery dinner rolls or focaccia bread.

      Instead of chicken, I would use shrimp with Gruyere or Havarti in this casserole for something different.

      I like most pastas but my favorite to use in casseroles is still elbow macaroni. I made this and used elbows instead of egg noodles. It was very good.
