Chicken and Noodles Casserole FAQs
What type of chicken will I need for this recipe?
You can use chicken breast for this recipe. If you want to save yourself some time, grab a rotisserie chicken and shred it into pieces. However, you can also bake, boil, or broil chicken and shred it for this recipe.
Should I shred the chicken or dice it into pieces?
Shredded chicken works well in this Ultimate Chicken Casserole. You can shred it with ease by placing the chicken into a mixing bowl and using a hand mixer to shred the chicken apart. However, if you prefer diced chicken, feel free to do that.
Can I use homemade cream of chicken instead of the canned version?
Absolutely. If you want to make a slightly healthier version of cream of chicken without all the extra sodium, feel free to prepare it from scratch.
Do I have to make this casserole with noodles?
While noodles go well with the chicken and other ingredients, you can serve it with other ingredients, such as stuffing or even mashed potatoes. Use what you like to make this dish your own so that you and your family can enjoy it.
