I made this Easy Cheesey Chicken Casserole and my children really liked it. My daughter said it tasted like these Chicken Rolls except with noodles instead of crescent rolls. I got the recipe from Gooseberry Patch. Enough said. Plus it has the words Easy & Cheesy in the title. Can’t really go wrong there.

You had me at easy, and cheesy just makes it even better! Yum. I linked up some pound cake and cheesecake bars. Thanks for hosting!
I am ALL ABOUT easy and cheesy!! YUM. I definitely can trust you when it comes to casseroles Mandy : ) We just ♥'d the Zucchini casserole so much. I'll have to try this one soon!
That just looks so yummy. If kids like it has to be good right?
Who wouldn't love this recipe?!?! I bet this would satisfy even the picky eaters!!
Yum. This looks fantastic!!!
I AM making this for dinner tomorrow night! LOVE this recipe & KNOW my whole family will too! Yeah!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Oh yummy! That casserole looks deliciously cheesy. I wanted to invite you to come over and share your recipe at These Chicks Cooked Recipe Spotlight today. Have a great day :)<br />Katie
Anyone actually try this? I’m a dairy lover, but a pound of cheese & 1.5 pounds of sour cream seems crazy overboard!!
Yep, it’s correct. Here’s a link to the original recipe if you want to see for yourself. It’s amazing. Feel free to experiment with less cheese and sour cream.

Hi
Hi are you suppose to cook the noddles before you put in baking dish also do you cook the chicken? And also can’t you use legs or thighs instead of breast? Thank you
Yes cook the noodles first as well as the chicken. You can use legs or thighs, too.
This looks good and easy and something different
I fixed this last night and was very disappointed. The casserole was bland. It needs some spices to give it more flavor. I may make this again but add garlic and onion powder to it. Any suggestion?
We don’t find it bland at all! You may try adding garlic and onion or chicken boullion if you like.
It must be a “Mandy” thing. My grandmother RIP, who was the Comfort Food Queen, was named Amanda. The most delectable smells and tastes came out of her kitchen and you are keeping the tradition alive. Thanks for all the good food and memories they invoke.
Thank you so much for the nice words!
Just cooked a whole chicken and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it. You solved my problem. I will make this and the rest will go for a chicken soup. To the person who said it was bland, add some hot sauce to the mix. I add it to everything I make. I don’t use enough to make it hot hot, but it gives it a nice zing. As Emeril would say Kick it up a notch. BAM!
You should try this Cheesy Rice and Chicken as well. It’s one of my favorites! https://mandysrecipeboxblog.com/slow-cooker-cheesy-rice-and-chicken/
