Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients for a smooth cooking experience.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of flour, stirring for about 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of whole milk, stirring until the mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder.
  5. Combine the cooked egg noodles, 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken, 1 cup of peas, and 1 cup of diced carrots in a large mixing bowl, then pour the creamy sauce over and fold everything together.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and bake for 25-35 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Notes

For a creamier sauce, use half-and-half instead of milk. Avoid overcooking the noodles, as they will absorb moisture and continue to cook in the oven.
