Scalloped Chicken and Noodles - From Grandma's Comfort Food Made Healthy

1 - 10 3/4 oz. can Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup
1/3 cup Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
1 cup water
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups hot cooked noodles, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 full cup (6 oz.) diced cooked chicken breast
1/2 cup (one 2.5 oz can) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
5 Ritz Reduced Fat Crackers, made into crumbs
1/4 cup (3/4 oz.) grated Kraft fat-free Parmesan Cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8x8 pan with butter-flavored cooking spray. In medium saucepan, combine chicken soup, dry milk powder, water, and onion. Cook over medium heat until mixtrure is heated through, stirring often. Stir in noodles, peas, chicken, mushrooms, parsley flakes, and black peppper. Spread mixture into prepared baking dish. In small bowl, combine cracker crums and Parmesan cheese. Evenly sprinkle cracker mixture over top. Bake for 30 minutes. Place baking dish on on a wire rack and let set for 2-3 minutes. Divide into 4 servings.

Hints:
1. 1 1/4 cups uncooked noodles usually cooks to about 1 1/2 cups.
2. Thaw peas by placing in a colander and rinsing under hot water for one minute.

3. If you don't have leftovers, purchase a chunk of cooked chicken breast from your local deli.

My notes: The topping adds so much to this casserole. I really like regular (non fat-free) Parmesan & recipes don't call for much of it, so I use regular. You won't believe the wonderful aroma of this casserole. It will be difficult to let it set for 2-3 minutes before digging in!!

Also: I am not that crazy about those frozen chicken breasts. I do use them, but what I prefer is to buy a whole chicken and bake it. One night, my husband and I have baked chicken (we like dark meat), baked potato, and salad or veggie (We don't eat the skin - we think its gross). The next night, I use leftovers to make a casserole. So, two nights, two delicious meals, 1 cheap chicken!!
