Chicken Noodle Casserole

Chicken Noodle Casserole

Healthy Fact of the Day

Chicken Noodle Casserole is a comforting dish that provides protein from the chicken and some vegetables from the peas and carrots. To make it healthier, consider using whole grain egg noodles for added fiber. You can increase the vegetable content by adding more mixed vegetables or some spinach. Using low-fat cream of chicken soup, reduced-fat sour cream, and low-fat milk can decrease the saturated fat content. For a lighter topping, use whole wheat breadcrumbs instead of potato chips. While this dish is satisfying, it's high in calories and sodium. To balance your meal, consider serving smaller portions alongside a large green salad. Remember, moderation is key when enjoying comfort foods like this as part of a balanced diet.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
