Ingredients for Amish Chicken Casserole

  • Noodles
  • Cooked Chicken
  • Chicken Broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

How to Make Amish Chicken Casserole

  1. Melt 1/4 cup margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk and 1 cup chicken broth. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  3. Add 3 cups cooked chicken (about 1.5 lbs cooked, shredded or diced), 3 cups cooked egg noodles, and the prepared sauce. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan. Top with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-45 minutes, or until heated through and the top is lightly browned.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
