Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare it for baking your Chicken Noodle Casserole.
  2. Cook the dry egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, about 6-8 minutes, then drain.
  3. In your prepared baking dish, combine the drained noodles, diced cooked chicken, soup, milk, peas, and black pepper, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, and melted butter until breadcrumbs are coated, then sprinkle over the casserole.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes until edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown. Broil for an extra minute for a crunchier top if desired.
  6. Remove from the oven, let sit for a few minutes to cool slightly before serving.
