A friend and her family went through a really difficult time, and I felt so awful for them. Bringing over this chicken noodle casserole was the one thing I could think of to help them out in a tiny way and let them know I was thinking of them. —Lin Krankel, Oxford, Michigan

Chicken Noodle Casserole Tips

Do you cook the noodles before adding them to the casserole?

Yes, you should cook the noodles until they're al dente before combining with the other ingredients.

Can you freeze chicken and noodle casserole?

Yes, you can freeze chicken and noodle casserole. To freeze, tightly cover the unbaked casserole and store for up to 3 months (watch this video to learn how to freeze a casserole the right way!). To use, partially thaw in the fridge overnight and remove 30 minutes before baking. Cover with foil; bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 165°. Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly.

How can I make this dish faster?

If you’re in a rush, we recommend using rotisserie chicken. Not only is it ready to use, but it adds extra flavor to the dish.
