Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 package (3 oz) Ramen noodles (reserve the seasoning packet)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your dish will cook evenly and come out perfectly hot and bubbly.
-
Season the Chicken: Generously season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper. This will infuse the chicken with a savory flavor from the very start.
-
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the Ramen Noodles: While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the Ramen noodles according to the package instructions, but do not add the seasoning packet. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
-
Cut the Chicken: Once the chicken has cooled enough to handle, cut it into bite-sized pieces. This helps it to mix well with the other ingredients and makes it easier to serve.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a lightly greased small casserole dish, place the chicken pieces. Add the drained Ramen noodles to the dish. Stir in the mushrooms, Rotel tomatoes, chopped onion, and cubed Velveeta cheese.
-
Add the Seasoning: Sprinkle the seasoning packet from the Ramen noodles over the top of the mixture. This will add extra flavor and enhance the overall taste of the dish.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and everything is heated through. The cheese should be bubbly and golden, and the flavors will have melded together beautifully.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to settle and makes it easier to dish out.
