Preparation method

1. Cook noodles according to package directions, adding Vegetable Oil or Margarine to water before the noodles. Drain. (This takes a while so you can start prepping the rest while this is cooking).

4. In large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt remaining butter and add the onion and bell pepper.
5. Add soup, broth, almonds, salt, pepper, and the shredded cheese.
6. Start pre-heating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
7. Cook and stir until Cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Add peas and mix.
8. Add noodles and chicken. Mix well. Transfer to 13×9 inches baking dish. (It will completely fill the dish). Sprinkle with Bread Crumb Mixture from above.
9. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly and the top is golden.Cook’s notes:

• Chicken: Turkey, Ham, Tuna, Shrimp & Crabmeat, any Smoked Meat. • Chicken Broth: Vegetable Broth, Sherry or White Wine (add extra salt if using wine). Other Ideas: • Sliced Mushrooms, Egg Noodles, Red or Cayenne Pepper if doing seafood, Heavy Cream (may need flour for thickening).
