I received this recipe from a dear friend and it is delicious. The bought rotisserie chicken could easily be used in this also. It makes a large container for a big family, a potluck, or to put into 2 containers and freeze one for later. It is really good with a salad and Texas Toast or French Bread.

  • 4 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or in small chunks (you can boil, marinate in Italian dressing or roasted)
  • 1/2 - 1 - cup chicken broth
  • 16 ounces fettuccine, angel hair, or linguine pasta, cooked and drained
  • 1 can EACH of cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and cream of celery soup (I use the heart healthy, lower sodium variety)
  • 8 ounces sour cream, lite
  • 6 ounces mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup - parmesan cheese
  • - salt and pepper
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (save some for topping)
  • 1/2 cup EACH of celery and onion
  • - garlic to taste
  • - black olives, optional
  • - bell pepper, optional

How To Make chicken tetrazzini

  • Step 1
    Cook chicken as desired. Shred or cut into small chunks. Cook pasta according to package directions, drain.
  • Step 2
    Sauté onions, celery, mushrooms and garlic in extra virgin olive oil (also bell pepper if you are using it - I even sauté canned mushrooms). Spray large baking dish with cooking spray. Mix chicken, pasta, soups, broth, sour cream and sautéd veggies. Mix well.
  • Step 3
    At this point you can add 1/2 of the cheeses and mix well. Pour into baking dish. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Step 4
    Bake in preheated 350 oven degree until bubbly, about 30-45 minutes. NOTE: If you feel you need more chicken broth, add before you top with the cheese. If you feel you need to decrease cheese for health sake that's fine. I also use whole wheat pasta.
