Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 large chicken breasts)
5 cups wide egg noodles uncooked
2 cups chicken broth
1 can (10 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup with herbs
1 can (10 oz) condensed cream of white cheddar cheese soup
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (mild, medium, sharp, or white)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Trim off any fatty pieces or weird pieces of each chicken breast, and then cut the chicken into small 1-inch cubes.
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Add the chicken cubes, egg noodles, chicken broth, creamed soups, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper to the casserole dish and mix together until thoroughly combined.
5 cups wide egg noodles, 2 cups chicken broth, 1 can (10 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup with herbs, 1 can (10 oz) condensed cream of white cheddar cheese soup, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Stir the chicken casserole mixture and press down to make sure all the noodle are covered. Cover the pan again with aluminum foil and bake for another 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and stir the mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, uncovered, until the cheese melts and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Let the casserole sit and cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving warm. Enjoy!

Notes

Chicken Broth : I recommend using full-sat chicken broth, chicken stock, or chicken bone broth (my favorite). There is not additional salt called for in the recipe, so if you're using a lower-sodium broth or condensed soups, then I would recommend sprinkling some kosher salt onto the chicken cubes before adding them into the casserole dish.

Cheddar Cheese : Cheddar cheese comes in shape, extra sharp, medium, or mild varieties. It also comes in white cheddar as well. Any of them can be used it just depends on your preference. It's also highly recommend to shred the cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded bagged cheese.
