Crispy Chicken Crunch Casserole: So easy to make and the best casserole you’ll ever make! Crunchy, creamy, and incredibly comforting!

Pin this Recipe

Some casseroles attempt to simulate a nutritious meal by combining rice, broccoli, and mild sauces. This is different from that. Comfort food at its finest, this dish is equal parts crunch and creaminess. That’s not something it’s afraid to flaunt. This dish has a crispy fried onion topping and a creamy noodle base—exactly what you want from a casserole. Moreover, all it takes to get ready is a quick mix of a few ingredients.

Crispy Chicken Crunch Casserole

This is one of those casseroles that is ideal for using up leftover chicken. Just throw together some basic cupboard items, fridge staples, and some fancy toppings, and pop them in the oven. Quite simple, no?

For this recipe, the chicken can be prepared ahead of time so that the only thing you’ll need to cook is the egg noodles. These are combined with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese. There aren’t many ingredients, but together they create a smooth and flavorful sauce.

What You Need To Make This Crispy Chicken Crunch Casserole:

Egg noodles: Noodles produced from eggs and wheat flour are called “egg noodles.” They are typically long and flat, however, some are shorter and thinner. Noodles made from eggs go under several different names.

Chicken: Should be cooked and shredded (as mentioned, this recipe is awesome to use up leftover chicken!)

Sour cream: Greek yogurt replaces sour cream well.

Cream of chicken soup: Enhances the chicken flavor of this casserole.

French fried onions: You can make homemade French-Fried Onions by combining one onion with about half a cup of flour with seasonings. Or use store-bought.

Cheddar cheese: Cheese, especially shredded cheddar, melts beautifully. It also adds a sour note to the mix, making things more fascinating for everyone.

Garlic powder

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to cover a chicken casserole before baking?

Casseroles with already-prepared components are often baked uncovered. To achieve a crispier, browner top, bake the casserole uncovered for a greater portion of the whole baking time.

Any suggestions for spicing up a bland chicken casserole?

Spruce up a plain dish by adding some fresh chili and coriander. To preserve flavor, add bay leaves and rosemary at the start of cooking and parsley and tarragon at the end to keep the flavor.
