Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole is a quick and easy casserole that is made with shredded chicken and pantry staples! Creamy, hearty, and comforting make this chicken and veggie packed casserole a family favorite.
Casseroles are one of my family's favorite dinners. Rich, creamy, meaty, filling casseroles...perfect for a cold night and awesome for lunch leftover the following day.
One of my family's favorite casseroles fitting this description is my Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole.
I use the traditional ingredients of a creamy chicken noodle soup, and a creamy base with a buttery cracker crumb top make a delicious and comforting meal.
Another reason to love this casserole is that it can be assembled easily, and only requires a quick trip to the oven and you are ready to eat!
I also sauté the veggies prior to putting them in the casserole because if cuts down on cook time and ensures that you have tender veggies in your casserole. My kiddos love all the veggies with the creamy noodles in this casserole- especially the carrots and peas.
