Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works wonderfully)

8 oz egg noodles

3 cups chicken broth

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup sour cream

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and corn)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the egg noodles and cook them until they are al dente, which should take about 6-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and well-blended.

      Layer Ingredients: In your crockpot, layer the ingredients starting with the shredded chicken, followed by the cooked egg noodles. Then, add the frozen mixed vegetables, and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Finally, pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over all the ingredients, and gently stir to ensure everything is combined.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the casserole is heated through and bubbly.

          Add Cheese: About 15 minutes before you plan to serve, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover the crockpot again and allow the cheese to melt into a gooey layer.

            Garnish & Serve: Once the casserole is fully cooked, garnish with fresh parsley if desired for a pop of color and flavor. Scoop hearty portions into bowls and enjoy your warm, comforting casserole!
