Ingredients
- 8 ounces of egg noodles
- 1 ⅓ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 cup chopped, cooked chicken meat
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 ½ cups sour cream
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pound fresh asparagus trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 8 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 1 ½-quart casserole dish.
- In a large pot of lightly salted water, cook the egg noodles for about 5 minutes, just until they’re almost tender. Drain them well and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Stir in the cooked chicken, red bell pepper, celery, and chicken stock. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream and oregano, mixing until everything is well combined.
- Layer half of the chicken mixture into your prepared casserole dish. Arrange the fresh asparagus evenly on top.
- Spread the cooked noodles over the asparagus, followed by about 5 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese sprinkled evenly.
- Add the remaining chicken mixture on top of the noodles, spreading it out evenly. Finish it all off with the remaining 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
- Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
