Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, French onion soup, sour cream, and cooked noodles; mix well.

Fold in caramelized onions and half of the cheddar cheese; season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish, spreading evenly.

Top with remaining cheddar cheese and sprinkle with bread crumbs for added crunch.

Drizzle olive oil over the top to help with browning.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving; garnish with parsley.
