Creamy Chicken and Noodle Bake

After a difficult week in March, Friday night was just going to be the two of us. We just needed some comfort food, but we had no idea what to make. I was very tempted to get some take-out or pack us all in the car for something as simple as Swiss Chalet.

Then I found it. Girlichef did it again and right on time! I nearly followed her recipe to the tee and the result was fabulous.

That, some Caeser salad and a movie was the perfect ending for Friday.
