CHICKEN NOODLE CASSEROLE

Category: Casseroles - Chicken and Turkey

12 oz pkg wide egg noodles, cooked al dente, drained
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
2 breasts of chicken, chopped and cooked (I used half of a costco rotisserie chicken)
1/2 of a small onion, chopped
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
fresh parsley, chopped

For the topping:
2 tbsp melted butter
1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

While pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, melt butter and add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are soft, just a few minutes. Add flour and whisk together and let it brown a bit. Slowly add the milk and chicken broth. Cook on medium low until bubbling and the mixture starts to thicken. Add salt and pepper, chicken and noodles. Combine well.

Pour into a greased casserole dish. Mix the melted butter and breadcrumbs until well combined. Sprinkle on top of the noodles. Bake at 375 for about 15-20 minutes or until breadcrumbs are nice and toasted. Top with fresh parsley.
