EASY CREAMY CHICKEN & NOODLE BAKE
I think I clipped this from an egg noodle ad. I have always used the green bean option. Try to make sure the noodles are reasonably in the liquid. You might want to poke them down during cooking when they become more malleable. I usually end up with a few crunchy noodles.
