LEFTOVER CHICKEN CASSEROLE
MUSHROOM ALFREDO
 
1 cup or two of cooked leftover chicken (chopped up)
1 cup egg noodles
1 can Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken Soup (uncondensed)
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons flour
1/4 cup milk
chopped green onion, to taste
1/2 cup grated marble cheese (or cheddar or Parmesan)
salt and pepper, to taste

Simple to prepare. Preheat oven to 400°F.

Using 2 cups of water, boil egg noodles over medium heat for at least 6 minutes, drain, and leave in pot. Mix in your choice of soup mix and chopped, diced, sliced leftover chicken.

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter, constantly stirring. Add flour sparingly (pinch at a time) while stirring to eliminate lumps and maintain consistency.

Cooks Tip: We like to add flour using an extra fine sieve, whisking while lightly sprinkling flour over the saucepan.

Add milk, a little at a time, also to maintain consistency. After butter, flour, milk mixture (Alfredo Sauce) has been thoroughly blended in, combine with egg noodles and chicken in pot.

Finely chop the green onions and add to pot. Dump everything into a glass baking dish, cover with grated cheese, and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes. Remove baking dish from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!

Easy to prepare, I used a bit of red onion (all I had at the time) and added breadcrumbs on top of the cheese and peas in the alfredo/chicken mixture. It was a great way to avoid throwing out the rest of my rotisserie chicken and my husband LOVED it. Its going in my go-to recipe book.

Loved!!! I am 16 but I cook in my house and when I searched for something easy and delicious for my family to eat, I knew this would be great. My family thought it was good and my two brothers basically licked the pan clean... but knowing that they are both 15 i am not sure if this means it was really good or... if we are not feeding them enough, but amazing. I added freshly cooked mushrooms and pees, made a huge difference.

It's amazing how picky 15 year old boys can become if they don't like something. Sure, they'll eat it (they are 15, after all) but you'll hear about it. Don't sell yourself short - it sounds like they liked it!

What's not to like?! A nice, easy casserole that uses up leftover chicken. I added some dried red chile pepper flakes for some heat and I mixed the cheeses adding a plain Gouda. I love the tip for adding the flour with a sieve. It worked great. My husband is pleased!

Good stuff. But that's not "Alfredo sauce." It's bechamel, or balsamella in Italian. Alfredo is basically butter, cream and Parmesan.

You are absolutely right, Roger. People say "Alfredo" for every creamy sauce, and they are incorrect.
