Chicken and Noodles Casserole
Chicken Noodle Casserole takes the things you love about chicken pot pie, adds in some pasta, and swaps the pie crust for a buttery crumb topping. I’m not a huge fan of a thick pie crust and I’m always up for adding pasta to any dish so this hits the spot. It was a winner for our whole house, toddler included!
Chicken and Noodle Casserole Recipe Ingredients
- frozen vegetables (I use the carrot, corn, pea, and green bean blend)
- egg noodles
- chicken breast, cooked
- cream of chicken soup
- sour cream
- shredded cheddar cheese
- garlic & butter croutons
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- salt
- pepper
- cooking spray
How to Make Baked Chicken Noodle Casserole with Sour Cream
- Heat your oven to 350°F.
- While that is preheating, get your egg noodles started by boiling a pot of water and cooking for the time indicated on the package.
- While the noodles are cooking, combine your remaining ingredients with the exception of the croutons and cooking spray.
- Once the noodles are done, drain and add them to your mixture. Pour the entire mixture into a greased 13×9 casserole dish.
- Add your croutons to a food processor and blend until a fine crumb. Sprinkle on top of the casserole and spray lightly with cooking spray. I like to use my Misto with avocado oil.
- Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until brown and bubbly. Enjoy!
Tips and FAQ for Cream of Chicken Egg Noodle Casserole
- I like to buy the large egg noodles because I’m a huge pasta lover, but you can buy medium sized or whatever floats your boat!
- It’s important to thaw the frozen vegetables prior to using. If you don’t, it will delay cooking time and result in a little bit watery of a casserole.
- You could swap out any vegetables that you love, our family just really likes this blend.
- If your topping starts to brown too early, top the casserole with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
Yes, you need to cook the noodles before adding them to the casserole.
You can put raw chicken in a casserole as long as you cook it completely. The chicken needs to reach 165°F internal temperature.
How to Store Chicken Pot Pie Casserole with Egg Noodles
How long will Cream of Chicken Egg Noodle Casserole last in the fridge?
When stored properly, cream of chicken egg noodle casserole will last up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Is Baked Chicken Noodle Casserole Freezer Friendly?
100% YES! It makes a great freezer friendly meal! Cook through to completion, allow to cool, and then put in your freezer. On the day you’d like to eat, you can either go straight from freezer to oven (if you use a dish that allows this!), or you can allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight and then bake up before dinner.
Last time I made this, I actually divided it into freezer safe quart ziploc bags (without the topping), frozen them flat in the freezer and used them for lunches for me and my toddler. I just added the topping before baking. It worked out great.
Serving Suggestions for Chicken Noodle Casserole with Sour Cream
One of the great things about Chicken Noodle Casserole with Sour Cream is that it’s a meal all on it’s own. The vegetables are included in the casserole, but you can serve it alongside extra veggies like roasted broccoli, carrots, or with a dinner roll.

One of my daughter’s favorites. She asks for it all the time. Perfect for when you’re wanting that comfort food but not quite feeling soup. I even make this as a meal to give to neighbors and everyone loves it. I started to put a note on it with the recipe.
A new favorite in our house. My kids absolutely loved it and my husband went back for seconds!
