Like many casseroles, this takes some doing. It’s pot-and-bowl-demanding, but worth every step. The combination of creamy sauce, corn, chicken and noodles is wonderful.

1/4cup all-purpose four
1-- (14-ounce) can less-sodium chicken broth
3/4teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3/4teaspoon kosher salt
1/4teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
3tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1-- (8-ounce) package sliced mushrooms
1/2cup diced red onion
1/3cup diced red bell pepper
2cups cooked fresh or frozen corn
1 1/2cups (6-ounces) cubed, cooked boneless chicken breast
2cups cooked broad noodles (2 cups uncooked)
1/3cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1cup fresh breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F.  Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. Whisk milk and flour in a large bowl until flour dissolves.  Whisk in broth, thyme, salt and pepper.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add mushrooms, onion and red pepper; cook, mixing occasionally, 7 minutes or until mushrooms are brown and tender.  Whisk sauce again and add to pan.  Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.  Remove from heat; add corn, chicken, noodles and parsley, mix to combine.
