Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the chicken

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

2
Cook the egg noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.

3
Prepare the vegetables

Slice the mushrooms. Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

4
Make the mushroom sauce

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5-7 minutes.

5
Add flour and liquids

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer the sauce until thickened, about 5 minutes.

6
Add seasonings and cheese

Season the sauce with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.

7
Assemble the casserole

In a large baking dish, combine the cooked egg noodles, chicken pieces, and mushroom sauce. Stir gently to distribute evenly.

8
Add topping and bake

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the casserole. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

9
Let cool and serve

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve the chicken and noodles casserole hot.
