Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 3 cups wide egg noodles – I prefer to use the No Yolks dumpling style noodles – the wider the noodle the better!
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of celery soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella, shredded
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsps melted butter
Instructions
Oven Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, condensed soups, sour cream, milk, peas, carrots, corn, and seasonings. Stir in the cooked noodles.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the combined cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle the panko mixture over the cheese layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is hot and golden brown on top. For an extra crispy top, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Alternate Cooking Methods:
Instant Pot:
- Add uncooked egg noodles, chicken, soups, sour cream, peas, carrots, corn, and 1/2 cup water or chicken broth to the pot.
- Seal the lid and cook on Manual/Pressure Cook for 4 minutes. Perform a quick release.
- Stir in cheeses, close the lid for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt, and sprinkle the buttery panko mixture on top before serving.
Slow Cooker:
- Combine all ingredients (except cheese and panko) in the slow cooker and stir.
- Cook on Low for 3-4 hours or High for 2 hours. Add cheese 15 minutes before serving, allowing it to melt.
- Serve with the buttery panko mixture sprinkled on top.
Stovetop:
- In a large pot, cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, mix the chicken, soups, sour cream, peas, carrots, corn, seasonings, and cooked noodles over medium heat.
- Stir until everything is heated through. Add cheese, cover, and let it melt for 2-3 minutes.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the buttery panko mixture over the casserole.
