Description
A comforting one-pot meal featuring shredded chicken, creamy sauce, and cheese, baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (about 2 large chicken breasts)
- 2 cups egg noodles (uncooked)
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6 slices)
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the egg noodles until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Stir in the cooked noodles, shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of the bacon into the sauce mixture. Ensure everything is well-coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon evenly on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
For a twist, try using different proteins like shredded turkey or add vegetables like bell peppers or peas.
