🍲 Amish-Style Chicken Noodle Bake
📝 Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 2 cups egg noodles (uncooked)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1 – Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
Step 2 – Cook the Noodles
Boil the noodles in salted water until just tender (al dente). Drain thoroughly and set aside.
Step 3 – Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup with the milk until smooth and well combined.
Step 4 – Combine Everything
Add the cooked chicken and drained noodles to the sauce, stirring gently until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5 – Assemble the Casserole
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 6 – Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
Step 7 – Let It Rest & Serve
Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes before serving so it firms up slightly and is easier to portion.
✨ Tips & Variations
- Try using rotisserie chicken for added flavor and convenience.
- Be careful not to overcook the noodles before baking.
- Season with black pepper or garlic powder to enhance the taste.
- Optional additions: peas, carrots, sautéed onions, mushrooms, or a crispy breadcrumb topping for extra texture.
