This is a super-easy recipe which I have tweaked to be even easier. Rather than buying a whole roasted chicken, I am using chicken breasts, cooked and cubed, and using prepared bread crumbs. Recipe & photo: Midwestliving.com

How To Make garlic parmesan chicken and noodles

Step 1

In a Dutch oven, bring 6 cups salted water to boiling; add noodles. Cook 10 minutes or until tender; drain.

Step 2

In a saucepan combine chicken, peas, garlic, and whole milk; heat through. Cover and keep warm.
Step 3

In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan with the melted butter.
Step 4

Stir noodles and remaining Parmesan into hot chicken mixture. Heat and stir until bubbly. Divide among four 16-oz. individual casserole dishes. Top each with bread crumb mixture.
Step 5

Bake in a preheated 450-degree oven for 5 minutes or until top begins to brown. If desired, top with fresh thyme.
Step 6

NOTE: may use panko bread crumbs. Combined with Parmesan, they give a unique texture to the topping.
