Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Oven-safe Pan

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 3 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Noodles

  • 12 oz egg noodles

Stuffing

  • 1 box Stove Top Stuffing (savory herbs flavor)

Vegetables

  • 2 cans mixed vegetables, drained

Gravy

  • 1 can Heinz chicken gravy 12 oz can

Soup

  • 1 can cream of chicken soup family-size can

Seasoning

  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Garlic seasoning

Water

  • 4 cups water for boiling chicken and noodles

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the chicken breasts in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the chicken, along with a knob of butter, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of garlic seasoning. Bring to a boil and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and easy to shred (about 15-18 minutes).
  • Remove the cooked chicken and set aside. Shred it using two forks and place the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl or oven-safe pan. Pour about half a cup of the hot chicken water over the chicken to keep it moist.
  • In the remaining chicken water, boil the egg noodles until almost cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the noodles.
  • Combine the shredded chicken, drained noodles, mixed vegetables, chicken gravy, and cream of chicken soup in the pan. Stir everything together thoroughly, then season with more salt and garlic to taste.
  • Prepare the Stove Top Stuffing according to the package instructions.
  • Spread the prepared stuffing evenly over the casserole mixture in the pan.
  • Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffing for extra flavor and an irresistible golden crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the stuffing is crispy and golden and the casserole is bubbling along the edges.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps set the casserole, making it easier to portion and enjoy.
