Tips

  • You can mix all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl first before adding to the baking dish to avoid doing another dish.
  • The initial baking in the oven is not enough to cook the chicken and noodles, so don't eat it.
  • The second baking time will vary, but for the cook it was between 10 and 15 minutes.
  • The dish will be molten lava hot when it comes out, so be careful.
  • Sprinkle parsley on top to make it look fancy.
