  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Tetrazzini Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti, cooked and drained
  • 2 lbs cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
  • 10 1/2 oz cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
  • 10 1/2 oz cream of chicken soup (1 can)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Soups and Flavorings: In a large bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, frozen peas, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Add Chicken: Stir the chopped or shredded cooked chicken breast into the soup mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Incorporate Spaghetti: Add the cooked and drained spaghetti noodles to the mixture and stir gently until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  5. Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly top with shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  6. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
  7. Finish Baking and Brown Cheese: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For an extra golden and bubbly cheese topping, broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top before serving hot.

Notes

  • For a crispier cheese topping, remove foil during the last 10 minutes of baking or broil briefly.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated covered in the oven or microwave.
  • You can substitute frozen peas with cooked mushrooms or other vegetables based on preference.
  • Use low-fat versions of sour cream and cheese for a lighter dish.
