- I recommend cooking the noodles to al dente before adding to the casserole.
- You do not need to thaw your frozen vegetables for this recipe.
What to use for the chicken:
If you want to save yourself some time you can use a rotisserie chicken. Just shred meat off chicken making sure it is all free of bones.
You can also throw some chicken breast in your slow cooker that you can use for this recipe. Check out my post for All-Purpose Slow Cooker Chicken for how I use this.
Can I freeze this recipe?
Yes, you can freeze this recipe. This recipe is is best frozen before baking. Make this in a casserole dish that has a lid. Once made do not add the cheese on top.
This casserole can last for up to 3 months frozen. When ready to bake, allow to thaw then top with the cheddar cheese.
Baking time may need about 10 minutes longer if the casserole has not full thawed.

Can you make with canned chicken?
Yup you sure can! I'd probably use 2 cans and make sure they are drained well!
