Creamy Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole
This is my new favorite Creamy Cheesy Chicken Noodle Casserole. It is made with noodles, chicken, mushrooms, a homemade cream sauce and topped with cheese then baked in the oven and it is so delicious.
Cook and drain the noodles.
In a large skillet over
medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the flour and whisk
quickly to combine.
Whisking constantly, cook
until a light brown.
Gradually add the chicken broth and
Half & Half whisking constantly
until hot, bubbly, smooth and creamy.
Add the salt and pepper then stir.
Add the mushrooms then stir.
Continue to cook until sauce
thickens, slightly, then
remove from the heat.
Spray a 3-quart casserole baking
dish with cooking oil.
Add the chicken to the noodles.
Pour the sauce on top
and toss to combine.
Pour into the prepared casserole dish.
I topped mine with more pepper
but this is optional.
Sprinkle the top evenly with the cheese.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven,
uncovered, for 30 minutes. Turn
on the broiler and broil until the
cheese turns brown.
Enjoy!

What an eye Dorothy! My husband broke my 4 quart and I am still stewing over that. I bought a new 4 qt and the lid doesn’t fit tight and it’s just not the same. 😩

Hi, Diane. I realized I haven’t seen your posts on my feed lately. When I found this post today, it asked me if I wanted to follow you. Go figure! I don’t know how I got dropped, but I’ve re-followed. I hope you and your family got through the holidays and January so far unscathed by the pandemic. I’m well. Glad to reconnect with you!

Hi Janet! I think WP deleted a bunch of my followers. I usually get about 25 comments a day and now I only get that every 3-4 days. I’m so glad you found me again! We had a rough Christmas, I had to cancel it, but my family made it through. So far, knock on wood, my husband and I haven’t been sick. I hope you are doing well and had a great Christmas.
