Main Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked chopped chicken
- 2 (10.5-oz) cans Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1 (16-oz) container refrigerated French Onion Dip (sour cream based)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 cup crushed French fried onions
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain thoroughly to remove excess water.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chopped chicken, unsalted cream of chicken soup, refrigerated French onion dip, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in the cooked egg noodles until evenly distributed.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the crushed French fried onions evenly on top to create a crispy topping.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is heated through and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

- Reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
