This recipe for Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole actually came out of an old cookbook I picked up at a garage sale. I added a few tweaks of my own, like the crunchy topping. It’s nostalgic comfort food perfect for the whole family!
- 1 pkg No Yolks Broad Noodles
- 2 cups seasoned, cooked chicken I used diced chicken breast, but shredded rotisserie chicken is great, too!
- 1 pkg (10 oz) frozen peas and carrots
- 1 pkg (10 oz) frozen corn
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup panko crumbs

Preheat the oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray
Boil the No Yolks noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all the other ingredients except the panko crumbs and butter. Add the cooked noodles to the mixture and gently stir.
Place in the 9x13 pan and then sprinkle the crumbs over the top. Pour the melted butter over the top of the crumbs.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until warmed through and bubbly. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
