This chicken noodle casserole is total comfort food and one of our favorite leftover chicken recipes. The whole family loves it. As the casserole bakes the cheese melts over the tender chicken and broccoli making it a perfect all in one meal.
Cook egg noodles according to package directions to al dente. Drain and place in a greased 9x13" pan.
Melt butter in a saucepan. Cook chopped onions in the melted butter until tender.
Add flour and cook for about a minute, stirring frequently.
Pour in the chicken broth while stirring. Once the flour is incorporated into the broth, add milk and cook over medium heat until it begins to thicken, stirring frequently.
Distribute the cooked chicken and broccoli over noodles. Pour the creamy sauce over the top of the casserole.
Mix cheese together and sprinkle over the casserole.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the sauce is bubble and the cheese is melted.
Notes
This casserole is great with leftover chicken or turkey. But you can also try it with leftover ham, or chunks of kielbasa as well!
