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.
