Ingredients
Instructions
- Arrange the chicken in an oblong baking dish.
- Combine the broccoli cheese soup and milk; spoon the mixture over the chicken.
- Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
- Serve the baked chicken and sauce over hot cooked medium egg noodles.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider seasoning the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika before baking. If you don't have broccoli cheese soup, a cream of mushroom or cheddar cheese soup can work as a substitute. You can also add some frozen or fresh broccoli florets to the dish for extra nutrition, which pairs beautifully with Audra'S Broccoli And Rice Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the saucy chicken over the egg noodles for a hearty meal. A side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad would complement this dish nicely. It also pairs well with Rohliky(Crescent Rolls) for a comforting dinner. For a touch of freshness, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped parsley or green onions on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through, or for best results, reheat in a covered baking dish in a 350°F oven until warmed. You can add a splash of milk to keep it creamy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken, but it's best to thaw it first for even cooking. If using frozen chicken, extend the baking time and ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F before serving.
What can I substitute for egg noodles?
If you don't have egg noodles, you can use any pasta you prefer, such as fettuccine or penne. Alternatively, for a low-carb option, consider serving the chicken and sauce over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
