GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN AND NOODLES image

This is a super-easy recipe which I have tweaked to be even easier. Rather than buying a whole roasted chicken, I am using chicken breasts, cooked and cubed, and using prepared bread crumbs. Recipe & photo: Midwestliving.com

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz extra-wide egg noodles
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 c frozen peas
4 clove garlic, minced
1 3/4 c whole milk or light cream
1/2 c coarse bread crumbs
3/4 c shredded parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp butter, melted
snipped fresh thyme (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a Dutch oven, bring 6 cups salted water to boiling; add noodles. Cook 10 minutes or until tender; drain.
  • 2. In a saucepan combine chicken, peas, garlic, and whole milk; heat through. Cover and keep warm.
  • 3. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan with the melted butter.
  • 4. Stir noodles and remaining Parmesan into hot chicken mixture. Heat and stir until bubbly. Divide among four 16-oz. individual casserole dishes. Top each with bread crumb mixture.
  • 5. Bake in a preheated 450-degree oven for 5 minutes or until top begins to brown. If desired, top with fresh thyme.
  • 6. NOTE: may use panko bread crumbs. Combined with Parmesan, they give a unique texture to the topping.
