Southern Chicken Noodle Casserole

Desert Mermaid's Note:

This is a really yummy Chicken & noodle casserole. Especially good , if you love sauteed mushrooms as I do. I got this recipe from about.com .I highly recommend . Simple, easy and good. I served it with garlic bread and it would be great with a salad too. I used about a breast and a half of left over boneless breast chicken from fried chicken the night before. I omitted the pimientos .

This was a good, basic casserole. My boyfriend loved it, which surprised me because he usually doesn't like anything with a white sauce. The pimentos is what really made this dish. Just for our own preference I put in about a half teaspoon of garlic powder and (because we love cheese!) I sprinkled about a half of a cup of cheddar cheese on top of the casserole before putting it in the oven. Next time I think I'll stir some in as well. Thanks for a simple and yummy recipe!
