Instructions

1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare your ingredients: shred or dice the cooked chicken, cook the egg noodles as per the package, and drain them well to avoid any extra moisture. In a large bowl, mix the chicken, noodles, cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, milk, onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and frozen peas and carrots until everything is evenly combined. This step is where the magic happens, blending all those flavors together.

2-Once mixed, pour the casserole into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top it evenly with the panko bread crumbs and drizzle with the melted salted butter for that crispy finish. Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes until it’s bubbly and the top turns a beautiful golden brown.
