Because they are so easy to prepare ahead of time, casseroles are a great option for busy families.

Meal prep can save you a lot of time! When you get home after a long day and cooking is the last thing you want to do, just pop a premade chicken casserole into the oven.

As a result, your dinner will be hot and ready to serve before you even have time to wrangle everyone around the dinner table.

Plus, chicken noodle casserole is a cozy comfort food dinner that reminds me of my childhood. Everyone loves creamy chicken casserole with noodles!

Great recipes using rotisserie chicken

Rotisserie chicken is a delicious meal on its own, but it can be so much more than that simple chicken dinner!
When you make a chicken casserole with noodles and vegetables, the chicken needs to be cooked. What could be easier than bringing home a ready-to-eat bird, chopping it up, and tossing it into a casserole?!
I use rotisserie chicken to make chicken enchiladas, chicken salad, and even chicken and wild rice soup. Using it to make creamy chicken noodle casserole is a no-brainer!

What to serve with chicken noodle casserole:

This casserole is rich and filling. As a result, you really don’t have to make side dishes. Some soft breadsticks or dinner rolls might be nice, or maybe even a simple garden salad.

How to make chicken casserole with noodles

The complete instructions for making the dish are in the recipe card below. But for now, these step by step photos will help you see how easy it is to assemble.

First, gather all of your ingredients and get your oven preheating.

I like to use rotisserie chicken so all I have to do is shred what I need for the recipe. Measure out the spices and get some water boiling on the stove.

This way, the noodles will be cooking while you assemble the rest of the chicken casserole.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • Milk – Any type will work except for coconut milk (it’s too thick)
  • Condensed cream of chicken soup
  • Frozen Vegetables – I use a mix of carrots, peas, beans, and corn
  • Egg Noodles – You can use any other pasta shape, as long as it isn’t too small or thin in size
  • Cooked chicken – white or dark meat, or a combination of both. It’s a great use for leftovers!
  • Spices – Salt and black pepper, onion and garlic powder, plus dried basil and oregano
  • Butter

TIME-SAVING TIPS

Pre-Cooked Chicken – If you make a lot of recipes with chicken, a great time-saver is to buy a rotisserie chicken. If you want to cook the chicken yourself, buy a package of chicken breasts in bulk and cook them in a big batch.

Using a slow cooker or electric pressure cooker (Instant Pot) is the simplest way to cook a large quantity at one time. Then, shred or cube the chicken and freeze it in batches. Whenever you need chicken, just thaw the amount the recipe calls for.

Pre-Cooked Noodles – If you want a firmer pasta or are in a time crunch, you can find bags of pre-cooked pasta at the store. They usually come in forms like penne or rotini, but all you have to do is toss them in the microwave for a minute and they’re ready to use.

If you want to use egg noodles, you can cook them up to 2 days ahead of time. Then, put them in a food storage bag with a tiny bit of oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

Then all you have to do is follow the recipe and add the cooked noodles when the recipe calls for them.

How to store the casserole

Store leftover chicken casserole with noodles in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you don’t think you will eat all of the leftovers before that time, you should freeze them.

You can freeze the casserole (baked or not) for up to 3 months.
