A comforting and flavorful casserole dish combining tender chicken, noodles, and a creamy sauce, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your casserole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked egg noodles, diced red onion, diced green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, condensed cream of chicken soup, ground black pepper, and salt.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure it doesn't overcook.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Letting it cool slightly helps the flavors settle and makes serving easier.
