Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350º.

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Cook the egg noodles according to package directions, about 10 minutes. Drain the noodles after cooking. Set aside.

In a large skillet on the stove-top, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet, stirring while cooking for 45 seconds. Add the flour, stirring while cooking until the raw flour smell dissipates, about 1 minute.

Then add the broth, milk, thyme, lemon zest, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir in the chicken and peas, cooking until heated through.

Stir in the noodles and Swiss cheese. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs and melted butter. Top the casserole with the butter-saturated breadcrumbs.

Bake until the top is browned, approximately 8-10 minutes.
