Yummy Chicken Casserole

I got this recipe from my friend Kelly in nursing school. It's way good, but I haven't made it in a while because we don't have an oven. So there will be no picture of this one, you'll just have to take my word for it on how good it is.

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 large can or 2 small cans of chicken (or 2 cooked, cut-up chicken breasts)
1 8 oz tub of sour cream
1/2 package of wide egg noodles
1 package of stove-top stuffing
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
dried onions (add to desired taste)
parsley (same as onions)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Boil noodles according to directions on package. Drain and put in a big bowl. Mix in cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken, dried onions, and parsley. Put mix in a casserole dish.
Melt butter in pan, mix in package of stove top stuffing and heat for about 2-3 minutes. Remove stove top from pan and sprinkle on top of the mix in the casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then take the foil off and bake for about 5 more minutes. Enjoy!

Rules

Here are the rules for recipe posting:

1. You have to have TRIED it and LIKED it.
2. It has to be easy.
3. Try to include a mouth watering picture :)

I also think it would be fun to post our weekly menus. Then we can copy each other and ask for recipes if we don't have them. Also, I set it up to have labels on the side. When you are posting, before you hit "publish post" put in a label in the sidebar (ex: chicken, pork) and that way when we are looking for a recipe, it will be easy to find. Happy recipe posting :)
