Our creamy chicken and noodle casserole recipe is the perfect weeknight meal. It is super easy to make and has enough for the family.
One of my favorite things about this Chicken and Noodle Casserole recipe is that it includes vegetables right in the casserole.
The vegetables add great flavor and you can add as many or as few as you want!
You can also make this budget-friendly dinner any night of the week and have leftovers or invite friends over for a nice dinner without a lot of effort and without breaking the bank.
Since this is an easy family dinner recipe, you can plan on this for those busier nights.
It is also a great recipe for those newer to the kitchen.

Once that is all mixed, pour it over top of the chicken and noodles.
Next, add the garlic salt, salt, and pepper to the pan and then mix all of the ingredients together in the 9×13 inch pan.

Betty Stoneburner says:
I make one very similar to this - only I eliminate the mushrooms (which I don't like) but add shredded cheese. I then top it with crushed potato chips. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Cindy says:
the dish was good but it was dry. I followed it to the letter but left out the peas. Do you have any suggestions?
-
Karen Carter says:
i too found it to be very dry? No milk or anything else needed ?
-
Kristen says:
I liked it but thought it was a little dry too, thinking next time I might use less noodles & chicken with the same amount of cream of chicken/sour cream sauce since we had a lot left over.
-
Nancy says:
First why would you put chicken and noodles in the pan and mix all other ingredients poor mix over and then mix well in the dish second how do you salt and pepper to taste before you cook it to taste it third garlic salt was not listed in ingredients.over all it tasted great although it was dry was I supposed to add milk to the soup?
-
gdlgal says:
Those that had dry results....did you cover the casserole?
-
gdlgal says:
Did you cover it?

Patti says:
I made a few adjustments. Didn't have any sour cream so I used half and half....felt OK with that since some folks said it was too dry. Skipped the peppers, but added shredded cheese. Tasted good cold, so we'll see what comes out of the oven. :)
-
Peter Groninger says:
Just tried it tonite; jazzed it up a bit (some chopped up carrots & some green peppers I had). To combat the dryness that was mentioned I simply added some (roughly 3/4 C ) of the pasta water. Topped it with some buttered panko bread crumbs, then baked it in a covered casserole dish for 30 minutes, then uncovered for another 10 minutes or so. Seemed to have plenty of moisture, and tasted quite good to boot.

Gina says:
I added a bag of frozen peas and carrots and 1\4 can of milk using the soup can. I just mixed everything in the bowl before I put it in the dish and then covered it with foil and mine came out very creamy and delicious. Hope this helps! ?

basketball mom says:
My basketball boys loved it! I omitted the veggies in it due to picky eaters and was afraid it may be dry so I added about a 1/4-1/3 cup milk to the sour cream and soup mixture.
-
Jennifer Mays says:
I, too, found this to be very, very dry...actually went back and re-read the recipe today to be sure I didn't omit something...and yes, I covered it..Maybe less noodles and two cans of soup?
-
Theresa says:
Eating now. Followed recipe, no veggies, added onion and garlic powder and some poultry seasoning. Also added 1 can of cheddar cheese soup. May add a little more liquid next time. But it's DELISH and quick
-
Cathy says:
Should the soup be diluted with some milk?
-
Momma Cyd says:
No, just the add the condensed milk in.
-
Momma Cyd says:
Cook the noodles while the oven preheats according to package directions.
-
Tammy says:
I don’t have sour cream on hand, but I do have a bit of cream cheese. Would that work?
-
Momma Cyd says:
Cream cheese is a great substitute for sour cream. Cream cheese is thicker, so you'll need to loosen it up a little before using. For every 1 cup of sour cream called for in a recipe, use 6 ounces cream cheese thinned with a tablespoon or two of milk, buttermilk or water.
