Recipe:  Amish Chicken Casserole



Ingredients:

8 oz. noodles (your favorite size)
2 cups cooked and cubed chicken (great for leftovers)
2 cups chicken broth (homemade or canned)
1 cup milk
1 small can mushrooms (we use pieces and stems)
2 tsp. salt (or slightly less to taste)
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Cook noodles according to package directions; drain.
Preheat oven to 350F.

Melt margarine, then whisk in flour until smooth.  Gradually add milk
and broth (separately or can be mixed); then stir in seasonings and
mushrooms.

Combine chicken, cooked noodles and prepared sauce.  Put in ungreased
9x13" baking pan and top with Parmesan cheese.  Bake for 20 minutes.

This can be made ahead and heated when needed but will take slightly
longer to heat completely through.  I have also made this in the
microwave--microwave on 80% power for about 10 minutes if freshly
made, longer if from refrigerator.

Optional: You can add whatever vegetables your family especially
likes.  We like the original version better and have the vegetables on
the side along with salad.
