Creamy Chicken and Noodles in a Casserole

You’ll love this creamy and chicken noodle dish in a casserole. It’s like creamy chicken noodle soup but in casserole form. It is full of noodles and chunks of chicken. However, you could always use turkey in place of the chicken.
As far as veggies for this dish, all you need is a bag of frozen vegetables. I used a bag of carrots and peas, but a bag of carrots, peas, corn, and green beans would also be excellent.
All of those noodles, chunks of chicken, and veggies are surrounded with a creamy sauce. The sauce begins with a roux with the addition of milk, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream.
Once you get it all mixed together, it is all place in a casserole dish. But it doesn’t stop these. The last thing you do before baking this is top it with a blend of shredded Italian cheese.
