Notes
- If you like your casserole extra cheesy, feel free to add in more Parmesan cheese.
- Increase the amount of melted butter by an additional tablespoon or two for a crunchier topping.
- Make sure to cook your chicken before adding it to the mixture so that it is tender and flavorful.
- To save time, use pre-shredded chicken or a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
- For an added flavor boost, consider adding in some minced garlic or onion powder.
- If you prefer more of a creamy consistency, add in additional sour cream or mayonnaise.
- Feel free to use your favorite type of egg noodles for this recipe;- wide, curly, or extra wide egg noodles all work great.
- This casserole can also be frozen for later use; just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and heat it up before serving.
