My husband really enjoyed it, but had a suggestion for next time – add egg noodles. And I had to agree. So the next time I make this easy french onion chicken casserole recipe, I'm going to add about 2 cups of cooked egg noodles.

Variation: For a healthier casserole, use light mayonnaise, light sour cream, low-sodium cream of chicken soup and reduced-fat cheese. Try different cheese in this recipe like gruyere, Swiss, Monterey Jack or even pepper-jack for a little spice.

Serve this french onion chicken casserole for dinner with a fresh vegetable and salad. It would be delicious served over rice or pasta.
