Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large pot, boil salted water and cook wide egg noodles for about 6 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese until smooth.
Fold in the drained noodles and shredded chicken, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly with a golden-brown crust.
Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving; garnish if desired.
