Chicken Noodle Casserole

This chicken noodle casserole has the flavor of chicken alfredo but feels more casual. It’s a perfect family dinner or potluck dish!

Hello there! Today I’m bringing you a scrumptious, comforting casserole recipe. I should take a minute to apologize to my regular readers for being a bit behind on new recipes lately. We have been building a house, and I’ve been pretty preoccupied with planning furniture and the move. I can’t really tell you how excited I am to move in later this month!

Our new house has a bigger kitchen than I’ve ever had before. We’re currently in an apartment with a very modest kitchen. I miss my gas stove! It took me a few weeks to get used to cooking on an electric stove, but I think I’ve got the hang of it now. What kind do you have at home?

You don’t need a big kitchen or fancy stove to make this chicken noodle casserole. You just need a stovetop, oven, deep skillet, and simple baking dish. If you are on a gluten-free diet like me, you can still make this recipe! Simply sub gluten-free flour and noodles if you need to. (That’s what I do!)

This dinner takes about 20 minutes of active cooking time, and then you can pop it in the oven for another 20 minutes or so while you go on about your business. If you are in a hurry you can also canned chicken instead of chicken breast and add it during step 6 with the cheese since it will not need to cook. It also makes it faster to prep since you do not need to cut the raw chicken breast. If you ever need another recipe to use canned chicken check out this easy enchilada skillet recipe. It reheats well too for leftovers or if you want to make it ahead of time. I know this other chicken pasta casserole will also be a hit at your house. Be sure to pin it or save it on Facebook to remember it :)
