Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) package wide egg noodles
2 cups cooked chicken breast
8 ounces cooked ham, cubed
8 ounces Swiss cheese, cubed
1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
½ cup 2% milk, or whole milk
½ cup light sour cream
garlic pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅓ cup garlic and herb bread crumbs
⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
In a large pot over medium-high heat, bring water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook for 8 minutes. Remove from heat and drain water from the pasta.
In a large bowl, add egg noodles, chicken, ham, cheese, cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, and garlic pepper. Mix to combine and pour into the prepared baking dish.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add butter, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Cook until combined, coated and lightly toasted (about 3 minutes). Sprinkle this over the casserole.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is fully cooked through.

Notes

Recipe Tips.

We have an oven-baked chicken recipe you can use, or use leftover chicken, or a rotisserie chicken.
Cube the Swiss and ham evenly so they distribute through every scoop.
Slightly undercook the noodles by a minute; they will finish in the oven and stay tender.
Assemble in a slow cooker instead of a baking dish. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 3-4 hours. Before serving

Storing. Store leftovers in an airtight container(s) in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for 6-8 weeks.

Freezer Meal. Prepare casserole according to recipe instructions except for the bread crumbs. Wrap the dish with plastic wrap, then again with aluminum foil. Label and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight. Add bread crumb topping and bake according to recipe instructions.
