Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb egg noodles
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk (I used 2%)
2 1/2 cups cooked chicken or 2 1/2 cups turkey, chopped
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a shallow 1 1/2-2qt casserole with butter or cooking spray.
In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles al dente. They will be better slightly firm.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat melt the butter.
Add the flour, stirring for 1-2 minutes until smooth and bubbily.
Remove from heat and stir in chicken broth gradually. Place back n heat and cook, stirring, until it thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in milk and cook until very hot and smooth, about 3 minutes.
Put drained noodles in a bowl with chicken or turkey and pour sauce over, toss thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Spoon mixture into the greased casserole. Sprinkle with parmesan.
Bake coverd for 15 minutes, then uncovered for about 15 minutes or until edges and brown and top is crisp.
