Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces wide egg noodles
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully cooked and no longer pink.

Step 6

Season the chicken mixture with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour the tomato sauce and heavy cream into the skillet. Stir and simmer over low heat for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the cooked egg noodles. Spread half of the chicken and sauce mixture evenly on top.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken layer.

Step 10

Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, chicken sauce mixture, and another 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 11

Top with the grated Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy finish.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
