Gail's Chicken Noodle Casserole (TNT)

-
Here's another old-time favorite casserole that I used to make pretty often when my girls were little, but I've not made it in a very long time. Gonna have to make this for dinner one night soon!  And I'm thinking a touch of Dry Sherry or Marsala might add a bit of MMMMMM to it, too!) And I bet some caramelized onions and sauteed mushrooms just night kick it up another notch or two, as well. 

Chicken Noodle Casserole

12 oz Egg Noodles
 1/4 Cup Butter
1/4 Cup Flour
1 Cup Chicken Broth
1 Cup Milk
1/4 Tsp Pepper
4 chicken breasts (boneless/skinned)
1 Tsp Salt
3 Tbsp Olive oil

Preheat oven to 350. Cook noodles according to directions; set aside. Chop chicken into bite-size pieces; sauté in oil 8 to 10 minutes; set aside. Melt butter in saucepan and blend in flour; slowly stir in broth and milk, adding salt and pepper . Stir constantly until sauce thickens. Add chicken and cooked noodles to sauce. Spoon into a buttered 2 qt casserole dish and bake covered 30 minutes. Serves 4.

Gail's Note: This falls into the category of "comfort food".  You might want to add fresh, minced garlic to the chicken as you saute it.

Add sugar to dissolve. Let cool (I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes--worked just fine to cool it down).  Once it is cool, add the olive oil, balsamic glaze (optional), and dressing mix.  Shake well and refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Gail's Notes:  This is my version of Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing that I just made and it is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! It is based on a recipe found here .  Note that I cut the ingredients in half (from the original recipe) because I wanted to make sure it tastes as good as it looks and man, it really does taste like Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing!  I will definitely keep this recipe handy (as I use Zia's dressi...
