How to Make Chicken Noodle Hot Dish

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook 1 pound egg noodles according to package directions, minus 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, 1 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Bring the soup mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Add 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (about 1 pound cooked chicken breast), 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and the cooked noodles to the saucepan.
Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
Pour the mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown slightly.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional) before serving.
Serve hot with a side salad and buttered bread.
