Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a light coating of butter.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Add the cooked egg noodles, chicken, and broccoli florets to the bowl with the sauce. Stir until well combined and everything is coated in the creamy mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 7

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs until coated with butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the hotdish to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
