This cheesy chicken tetrazzini is a nice surprise.

I have always wanted to learn how to make chicken tetrazzini for our recipe vault, that is this blog. So glad I finally tried this dish. Everyone in the family loved it.

Its a really yummy comfort food dinner that, with a few adjustments becomes a healthier comfort food dinner than you would first suspect.

The adjustments I made were less cheese and salt, and the results were still fabulous.

How to make Cheesy Chicken Tetrazzini?

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Add 2T butter to a large saucepan on medium-high heat. After butter melts, add mushrooms and ¼ cup chicken stock. After about 10 minutes, the mushrooms should be nicely browned and the liquid should have mostly evaporated.
  3. While mushrooms are cooking, tear thin spaghetti noodles in thirds and place in boiling water. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove mushrooms from saucepan, and set aside.
  5. Return pan to heat and add 6T butter. Melt butter, then whisk in flour for about one minute.
  6. Slowly mix in chicken stock and milk. Cook over medium-high heat until bubbly. Cook for additional 2 minutes once bubbly.
  7. Add in ¼ cup shredded parmesan and ¼ cup shredded mozarella, stir. Once cheese is melted add in chicken, mushrooms, salt and pepper.
  8. Add chicken/milk/mushroom mixture to noodles and stir.
  9. Scoop into 13x9 baking dish and cover with 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella.
  10. Cook for 30 minutes in preheated oven. Enjoy!

Tips for this easy cheesy chicken tetrazzini:

  1. Use rotisserie chicken for a faster prep time. You only need 2 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken for this dish, and you can usually get just a little more than 2 cups from one chicken, so its perfect.
  2. If you do not have shredded parmesan on hand, this dish works great with only mozzarella. We've cooked it this way, and it's still amazingly delicious.
  3. If you would like to add another vegetable besides mushrooms, you can try broccoli or green beans cut short.
  4. Be sure to tear the thin spaghetti noodles in thirds. This size of noodle works really well for this dish.

What to serve with Chicken Tetrazzini?

This is a good size chicken tetrazzini for a crowd. The dish is rich, but not too rich. You can cut a small to medium size piece for one person and it will most likely be enough, especially when combined with a healthy side. You can serve 10-12 people with this recipe. Here are some side ideas:

  1. Large Green Salad
  2. Sauteed zucchinis
  3. Sauteed spinach
  4. Roasted Broccoli

You should make this tonight. It's so good.
