Chicken Cashew Chinese Noodle Casserole image

This is a great "go-to" casserole. I've been making it for years for pot lucks, funeral collations, family get-togethers, etc. Has a lot of really good textures and tastes in it. Just add a side salad and it's a meal!

This casserole was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, the cashews added a nice crunch, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again!
