Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
2
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
3
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add cooked chicken, red bell pepper, celery, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream and oregano.

Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture into the prepared dish; arrange asparagus on top. Spread cooked noodles evenly over asparagus and top with 5 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Cover with remaining chicken mixture and sprinkle remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted and top is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
