Sauteeing chicken in a skillet

We had some chicken breasts in our freezer which is what we used for this chicken noodle casserole recipe. A rotisserie chicken from the grocery store would work just as well and notch up the convenience factor even further.

The rest of the ingredients listed above are all basic and ones that you likely have on hand already. The peas can be substituted for a vegetable of your choice and if you don’t have parsley, don’t sweat it!

The chopped-up green leaves add a little color and flavor to the recipe but it can easily be omitted without taking away a lot from the dish.
