Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Add garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms release moisture and become tender, about 5–6 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stir, and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth and white wine (if using). Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add cooked chicken and egg noodles to the sauce and mix until evenly coated.
Transfer mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or Gruyère cheese on top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.Substitute white wine with additional chicken broth if preferred.Cook noodles just until al dente to prevent them from becoming mushy during baking.Customize with vegetables like peas, spinach, or bell peppers.Top with breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter for extra crunch.
