Typically when you think of chicken and noodles all baked to bubbly perfection in a deep casserole dish, you’re thinking about how delicious it is – but, it comes at a cost.

Honestly, as delicious as it all can be, I don’t even want to think about what is in those cans.
Meet this tasty dish, garlic parmesan chicken and noodles. You get the hearty from the chicken and noodles, but it’s all wrapped up in a much lighter and easy on the jeans sauce. The top isn’t forgotten as it’s sprinkled with a breadcrumb parmesan mixture that gets that come hither golden color. Go ahead – with this one, you can have seconds.
