• 1.5 cups Sour cream
• 1 can Cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, shredded chicken, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) to the sour cream mixture. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the cooked egg noodles until they are fully coated with the sauce.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of melted butter (optional, for extra golden topping). Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
