Three Cheese Chicken Casserole | Download (PDF)
Alisa Bangerter

I adapted a recipe I found to make this casserole. My son loves pasta so I was trying to find something that would be a quick one-dish meal that would also feed a growing teenage boy! I also needed a good recipe to take to neighbors or pot-luck dinners and this one worked perfectly.

INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
2 cans (10 3/4 oz. each) cream of chicken soup
1 can (8 oz.) sliced mushrooms 
1 jar (2 oz.) chopped pimentos
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1 package (8 oz.) egg noodles, cooked and drained
3 - 4 c. cooked diced chicken
2 c. grated cheddar cheese
2 c. cottage cheese
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
dried bread crumbs (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Sauté onion and pepper in butter or margarine until tender. Remove from the heat and add soup, mushrooms, pimentos, and basil. Set aside. Mix together noodles, chicken, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Pour soup mixture over noodle mixture and combine well. Note: Amount of soup can be adjusted if you want the casserole more or less saucy. Pour into a greased 9" x 13" baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, if desired, and bake 10 minutes longer.

Yields approx. 10 servings
