Directions:Place whole chicken or chicken pieces into large pot and cover with water. Add chicken bouillon or reduce water and add chicken broth, celery, onion, carrots and salt and pepper to pot. Bring chicken to boil, reduce heat to simmer and let simmer for 1 hour, until chicken is done. Use slotted spoon to remove chicken and let cool. Strain chicken broth back into the large pot and return to boil, adding more water as necessary for boiling noodles. Boil noodles in chicken broth as package indicates. Drain noodles.
De-bone chicken when cool enough to handle and shred. Measure out 3 cups. Mix chicken, soup, milk, and noodles in large bowl (or the pot you boiled the noodles in) until thoroughly mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Grease 9x13 pan, and pour chicken mixture into greased pan. Spread evenly. Butter both sides of the bread, and cut bread into 1 inch squares. Arrange buttered bread to cover the top of the casserole. Bake in a 350º oven for about 30-45 minutes, until bread squares are toasted and browned and casserole is bubbly. |

Notes: This is an easy recipe we all loved growing up. We sometimes skip the bread and just do a stove top version of this, just heating it through on the stove and serving it! You can add corn or peas (frozen are better, just from my viewpoint) to this if you like a veggie in your casserole!
