5-Ingredient Amish Chicken Noodle Bake

How to Make It

This recipe is nearly impossible to mess up. Follow these steps for a perfect bake:

1. Prep the Noodles: Boil your egg noodles in salted water, but pull them off the heat 2 minutes before the package directions suggest. They will finish cooking in the oven, and "al dente" prevents a soggy casserole.

2. Combine: In a large mixing bowl, fold together the shredded chicken, both cans of cream of chicken soup, and the chicken broth.

3. Layer: Add your cooked noodles to the bowl and toss until every strand is coated in the creamy mixture. Pour the whole thing into a greased 9x13 baking dish.

4. The Golden Touch: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top. This is what creates that signature Amish-style richness.

5. Bake: Pop it into a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 25–30 minutes. You’re looking for the edges to bubble and the top to turn a light, golden brown.
