Ingredients

1. ½ cup butter
2. 1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh baby portobello mushrooms
3. 1 cup chopped onion
4. 2 teaspoons minced garlic
5. ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
6. 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
7. ½ teaspoon salt
8. ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
9. 3 cups chicken broth
10. 1 cup heavy whipping cream
11. 1 (16-ounce) package medium egg noodles, cooked according to package directions
12. 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
13. 2 cups frozen peas
14. 1 (5-ounce) package shredded Parmesan cheese
15. ¼ cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
16. 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in flour, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in broth and cream; cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
3. Stir in noodles, chicken, peas, and cheese until well combined, and cook until heated through. Spoon mixture into prepared pan. In a small bowl, stir together bread crumbs and oil; sprinkle onto casserole.
4. Bake until hot and bubbly, 35 to 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

1. Kitchen Tip: Pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store for this recipe; you'll get about 3 cups of meat from it.
