  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion and saute until just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • While vegetables are cooking, mix condensed mushroom and chicken soups with sour cream in a large bowl.
  • Add egg noodles, cooked carrot mixture, chicken, mushrooms, and peas; stir to combine. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread in an even layer. Lay American cheese slices over top, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, 30 to 45 minutes.
