Italian Chicken Noodle Casserole

We bought some of those pre-marinated chicken breasts and had them for dinner one night. They are pretty yummy! There were 2 breasts leftover and already cooked - so I decided to create something to stretch 2 chicken breasts out to feed a family of 7. I usually fly by the seat of my pants in the kitchen, so here's what we came up with:

2 chicken breasts (I used the pre-marinated kind and pre-cooked)
1 pkg angel hair pasta
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 large can of sliced mushrooms
1 small can of sliced black olives
1 soup can of milk
2 tsp soy sauce (or teryaki sauce)
2 Medium Onions
2 cloves garlic
Italian Seasoning
Bread crumbs
Olive oil

Preheat the oven to 375

Start a pan of water and cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and pour into 9x13 casserole dish.

While the pasta is cooking, add about 2 TBSP of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 2 diced onions to a skillet and saute until the onions are almost done.

Pour the contents of the skillet into the casserole dish on top of the noodles.

Dice the 2 pre-cooked chicken breasts and add to the casserole dish.

Add drained mushrooms and olives.

In a separate bowl, mix together the cans of cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups, 1 can of milk, 2 tsp soy sauce, and about 2 TBSP of Italian Seasoning. Mix it up until smooth :o)

Pour the soup mixture over the casserole and mix it all up.

Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of Italian Seasoned bread crumbs all over the top of the casserole.
(I had plain bread crumbs - so I put my breadcrumbs in a sandwich baggie, added a generous sprinkling of Italian Seasoning and some salt - shook it all up and sprinkled that on top of mine)

Drizzle about 1/4 cup olive oil over the top of the bread crumbs.

Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes uncovered.

This turned out so yummy and creamy!

If I had parmesan cheese, I might have added that in too - but like I said, I was flying by the seat of my pants and trying to figure out how to feed 7 people with 2 chicken breasts and NOT have to go shopping. :o) And feed the crowd I did. They loved it!

To spice it up, you could make a side of tomatoes, olive oil, and diced onions to sprinkle on top, add some fresh shredded parmesan cheese, and serve with garlic bread.
