Description

Creamy Homemade Chicken Noodle Casserole with broccoli, rotini, and crispy onions. Easy, comforting, and family-friendly recipe.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups diced uncooked chicken (about 2 small chicken breasts)

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ¾ teaspoon garlic salt

  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • 3 cups dry rotini pasta

  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup (cream of chicken works well too)

  • 1 cup sour cream (or 8 oz)

  • ½ cup milk (any kind)

  • 2 cups sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded

  • 1 cup regular cheddar cheese, shredded

  • 1 cup French’s crispy fried onions


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pasta: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly golden, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Steam Broccoli: While the chicken cooks, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. You can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop.

  4. Mix Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the condensed soup, sour cream, and milk. Stir until smooth and creamy.

  5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken, steamed broccoli, cooked rotini, and 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheeses to the sauce mixture. Stir until everything is well coated.

  6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish, spreading evenly.

  7. Top and Bake: Sprinkle the remaining 1 ½ cups of cheese over the casserole. Then evenly distribute the crispy fried onions on top.

  8. Bake: Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the onions are golden brown.

  9. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm and creamy!
