1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

6. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole.

8. Let rest for 5–10 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
Do not overcook the noodles before baking to avoid a mushy texture.
Use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience.
Mix breadcrumbs with butter for a perfectly crispy topping.
