Ingredients

  • 5 cups (10 ounces) egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup (65g) chopped celery (about 1-2 stalks)
  • ½ cup (35g) chopped white or yellow onion (about ¼ large onion)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup (see note)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups (10 ounces or 306g) cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag frozen peas, thawed
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (4 ounces or 113g) shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente (usually 2-3 minutes less than fully cooked). Drain and set aside.
  • Add oil to a skillet. Add celery and onion and cook until veggies are translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Place soup and milk in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Add chicken, peas, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, noodles and vegetables. Stir until combined.
  • Pour into a 9x13-inch pan and top with shredded cheese.
  • Bake until hot and bubbly, about 15-25 minutes. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use any kind of noodle; we enjoy egg noodles in casseroles. Regular or whole wheat are fine. Just be sure to cook to al dente, not fully cook.
  • You can use any kind of “cream of” soup (mushroom, chicken, cheese, potato). We enjoy using the lower fat/healthy line of Campbell’s cream soups but use what you like.
  • Any kind of milk (nonfat, 2%, regular, or nondairy may be used).
  • If you want more cheese on top, add as much as you like.
