Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked egg noodles until everything is evenly combined. If the mixture is too thick, add the milk a little at a time until you reach a creamy consistency.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the breadcrumbs.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
