  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soul-Satisfying Casserole Body:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb wide egg noodles, dried
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of celery soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Golden, Crispy Crown (Optional):

  • 1 cup crushed potato chips
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook egg noodles until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add diced onion and celery to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  5. In a large bowl, mix together cooked noodles, chicken mixture, cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, chicken stock, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour into the greased baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. For a crispy topping, mix crushed potato chips with melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Customize by adding cheese, extra vegetables, or a different crispy topping like breadcrumbs or fried onions. Leftovers can be reheated at 350°F (175°C) for the best texture.
