Creamy Chicken & Noodles

This dish is so easy and yummy. Of course, me and Ty are picky, so I don't put the mushrooms or the red peppers in it and it is so delicious. Also, I don't add the salt because with all of the chicken broth it has a good flavor. It makes a lot of food. So, I put it in 2 8 X 8 dishes and put one in the freezer for a later date.

Ingredients:
-10 oz. egg noodles (pre-cooked approx 8-10 min.)
-4 ½ c. (pre-boiled) diced chicken breast meat
-1 square butter (1/2 c.)
-½ c. flour
-1 ½ c. half & half
-4 ½ c. chicken stock
-1 ½ t. salt
-1 ½ t pepper
-2 c. sliced fresh mushrooms
-½ c. diced red pepper
-1 ½ c. grated parmesan cheese
-1 ½ c. grated mozzarella cheese


Preparation:Pre-cook noodles and set aside. Pre-cook chicken breasts, dice and set aside.
In large saucepan or large fry pan melt butter, whisk in flour until smooth, add chicken stock, half & half, salt & pepper. Over med heat, stir until smooth and sauce has thickened. Add mushrooms, red pepper, chicken and noodles to cream sauce. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan and top with grated mozzarella cheese.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for approx. 30-45 minutes until heated through
