Chicken Tetrazzini is a scrumptious creamy dish made with chicken, mushrooms, onions, garlic and pasta covered in a luscious cheddar cheese sauce and baked to golden perfection. It is always a hit with the family and leftovers heat up like a dream. This is a real hearty meal but if company is coming I love to serve this with Italian Chopped Salad and Garlic Knots. When it is just the immediate family I will serve it up with a simple garden salad for nutrition and balance.
