Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions recommend. Drain and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Add the shredded chicken, cooked egg noodles, thawed peas and carrots, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixing bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle the cracker topping evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley or serve as is. Enjoy your creamy chicken casserole!
