Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (I used the kind with green beans, corn, carrots, and peas)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounce) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounce) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded chicken (I used the pre-cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken that you can find near the deli section of your grocery store)
  • 1 package (16 ounce) wide egg noodles cooked until al dente
  • ½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat and add frozen vegetables. Stir occasionally until veggies are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add cream of chicken and mushroom soups, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and seasonings. Stir until cheese is melted and then remove from heat.
  • Add in chicken and noodles. Stir to combine and then spoon into prepared dish. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, melt remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and then add bread crumbs and rest of Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and then sprinkle on top of chicken mixture.
  • Bake until golden brown on top and bubbly, around 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
