Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and shred into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and egg noodles until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and stir until they are lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in 0.25 cup of grated Parmesan cheese if using.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole, followed by the toasted panko breadcrumb mixture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Crispy Chicken Casserole!
