How To Make Homemade Chicken Noodle Casserole

STEP ONE – Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

STEP TWO – In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5

STEP THREE – Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, sprinkle in flour and whisk for 1 minute to create a roux.

STEP FOUR – Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

STEP FIVE – Stir in lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

STEP SIX – Add shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until vegetables start to thaw.

STEP SEVEN – In a large bowl, add the cooked egg noodles. Pour the chicken mixture from the skillet over the noodles and gently toss everything together until well combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

STEP EIGHT – Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with shredded cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges are lightly browned.

STEP NINE – Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

STEP TEN – Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
