The best part about this recipe is that it’s incredibly simple to make. If you have leftover chicken, this is the perfect dish to use it up. Most of the ingredients can be found in your pantry, and all you need to do is mix them together and bake. Easy peasy!

To start, you’ll need some cooked and shredded chicken. While the chicken is essential, the star of this casserole is the egg noodles. Cook them according to the package instructions and combine them with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, and grated cheddar cheese. This combination creates a savory and creamy mixture that will make your taste buds sing.

But where’s the crunch, you may ask? The generous helping of French fried onions on top is what gives this casserole its satisfying crunch. Sprinkle them over the dish before popping it in the oven. As it bakes, the onions become delightfully crispy and golden brown, creating the perfect contrast to the tender and creamy casserole beneath.

After about 25 minutes in the oven, your casserole will be golden brown and bubbly. Add more fried onions on top and return it to the oven for another 5-10 minutes for that extra crunch. Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
