12 oz egg noodles (uncooked)
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup frozen diced onion and bell pepper blend
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (like RoTel), undrained

½ teaspoon chili powder (optional, for extra kick)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Boil egg noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cooked noodles, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onion and pepper blend, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, fajita seasoning, and optional spices. Stir until well combined.
