How to Make Creamy Chicken Noodle Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 chicken bouillon cubes in 2 cups of boiling water. Set aside.
  4. Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until a roux forms.
  6. Gradually whisk in the reserved bouillon mixture, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. Reduce heat to low.
  7. Stir in 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced), 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, 1 cup milk or cream, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Add the cooked noodles to the sauce, gently tossing to combine.
  9. Pour the mixture into a greased 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  10. Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional).
  11. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. The cheese should be melted and golden brown.
  12. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
