Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a grate or oven-safe rack on top. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer and bake for about 15 minutes or until crispy. Let cool slightly, then crumble and set aside.
While the bacon is cooking, boil the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until no longer pink. Season with garlic powder and onion powder as it browns. Transfer the cooked chicken into the greased baking dish.
Pour the creamy mixture over the cooked chicken. Add the drained egg noodles and stir everything together right in the dish to coat evenly.
Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top, followed by the remaining bacon.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the casserole is hot and bubbly. Top with chopped green onions before serving (optional, but adds a fresh touch).

Mix up the shredded cheese by trading out Monterey Jack for flavorful cheddar cheese or mild mozzarella cheese.
