Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
Cook the egg noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, peas, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Add the cooked noodles to the mixture and stir to coat evenly.
Transfer the chicken noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter, then sprinkle over the casserole.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

You can add more vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or carrots to enhance the flavor and texture.

Feel free to swap the cheddar cheese for mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a different cheesy flavor.
