Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Chicken Fettuccine Casserole

Every once in a while I stumble across a something that IT Guy can't get enough of. I'm not sure why this hit his happy place but it did so that makes me happy. We had leftovers for a couple of days and that was cause for lots of smiles on his part. It's super good and SO family friendly.

Chicken Fettuccine Casserole



2 chicken breasts ~ sliced horizontally
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
8 ounces fettuccine noodles ~ cooked and drained
1 - 2 cups shredded cheese
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup butter ~ melted
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt & pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Place chicken onto a rimmed cookie sheet and season with onion powder and salt & pepper. Bake for 30 - 45 minutes or until done. Cube.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked, cubed chicken, sour cream and cream of chicken soup.

Add the noodles and toss gently. 

Pour mixture into prepared pan.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Italian seasoning and the bread crumbs.
