"I made this one night intending to make a broccoli and chicken casserole and then realized Boyfriend forget to buy broccoli. It turned out wonderfully, though. Enjoy!"
2Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Stir in egg noodles and return to a boil. Cook the noodles uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
3Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with salt and seasoned salt.
4Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook chicken breast halves in the hot oil until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Set chicken breasts aside.
5Mix cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups, Cheddar cheese, mushrooms, and garlic in a large bowl.
6Spread noodles in an even layer into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish.
7Arrange asparagus spears in a layer over the noodles.
8Dice chicken breasts and spread over the asparagus spears.
9Pour soup mixture over the asparagus.
10Sprinkle cracker crumbs evenly over the casserole; drizzle melted butter over the crumbs.
11Cover the dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
12Remove the cover and bake until the casserole is bubbling and the crumbs are browned, about 15 more minutes. Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
