This chicken noodle casserole is made with a chicken, creamy mushroom sauce, broccoli, and a cheese! A great make ahead meal for busy weeknights with a great deal of substitution choices.
This chicken noodle casserole is a classic-comfort-food. No fancy ingredients, also quite simple to customize. It’s possible to utilize carrots and peas rather than broccoli, utilize leftover rotisserie chicken, and also with different cheese choices.
I’ve used egg noodles for this recipe also, but they’re thinner and do not hold up quite as well as Rotini.
I utilize Cabot sharp white cheddar cheese this casserole however, you may use any sort of cheddar.
