Sometimes you just want to throw all those fancy schmancy dinner recipes out the window and make a good old fashioned, creamy casserole just like you used to eat as a kid.  This chicken noodle casserole is a snap to assemble and only bakes for 25 minutes, so it's easily a good weeknight meal.

I used peas but you could totally substitute mixed vegetable or carrots, really anything your family will eat.  The veggies will be swimming in so much creamy goodness, your kids won't even realize they're eating veggies.
