Chicken Tetrazzini

Make this fabulous classic Chicken Tetrazzini, with convenience foods and fresh ingredients, to serve a crowd. After Thanksgiving or Christmas, just substitute cooked and cubed turkey for the chicken!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
  • 2 (16 ounce) jars four cheese Alfredo sauce
  • 2-4 cups cooked cubed turkey
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti 2 minutes less than package time, until almost done but still firm in the center. Drain well and rinse under hot water; drain again.

Meanwhile, in large skillet heat butter over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, and mushrooms until tender, about 4-6 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add Alfredo sauce, milk, and mustard and stir; bring to a simmer. Stir in drained pasta, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese; stir gently until combined.

Pour mixture into 3 quart casserole dish. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake the Chicken Tetrazzini, uncovered, for 40-50 minutes or until casserole is bubbling, cheese has melted and is golden brown around edges.

A hit with the kids! And me., Member Tony6661959

This is a mild, flavorful version of tettrazzini that's easy to make and change to your tastes. I used linguine, and made it ahead of time, then added about 20 minutes in the oven. So simple, and the kids gobbled it up.
