- 1-2 tsp pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3-4 cups cooked, diced chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and seasonings. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in broth and cream. Return to heat, turn heat up to medium and continue stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for one minute. Turn heat off, stir in chicken and noodles.Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 or 11x14 inch pan. Sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake casserole at 350 degrees for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the center is bubbly and cheese on the top is lightly browned. Fast option: If the casserole is still warm, I'll just put the casserole under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the cheese on top is browned.
