Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces wide egg noodles uncooked
- 12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5 ounces
- 1¼ cups milk 1 soup can full
- ¾ cup reduced sodium chicken broth ½ a soup can full
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder for sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper for sauce
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter the bottom of a casserole dish.
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-size pieces.
- Add the chicken breast pieces to the casserole dish. Season with 2 teaspoons garlic powder, chicken bouillon, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Add the uncooked egg noodles and frozen mixed vegetables to the dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, chicken broth, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon pepper until smooth.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly over the casserole. Use a spoon to gently press the noodles down so all of the pasta has some of the liquid mixture on top. *make sure every noodle has some liquid on it, otherwise it will come out crunchy.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and stir the casserole. Change the oven setting to broil.
- Sprinkle the sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Broil until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on it so the cheese does not burn.
