Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta (egg noodles or rotini)
• 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth, low sodium
• 1 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Frozen peas and carrots
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Cook the gluten-free pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.

Step 4

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 5

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly before chopping into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the gluten-free flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the frozen peas and carrots, cooked pasta, and chopped chicken into the creamy sauce. Mix well to combine.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 11

In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs with a little melted butter or olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) to moisten, and sprinkle over the cheese layer.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Step 13

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free chicken noodle casserole!
