WHAT’S CHICKEN TETRAZZINI?
Apparently it’s named after Italian opera star Luisa Tetrazzini in the 1920’s by a chef at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, but who really knows its origin. All I know is this is pure comfort food.
WHAT’S IN CHICKEN TETRAZZINI?
Using rotisserie chicken to make it easier, this pasta dish uses cooked spaghetti and the sauce is made from condensed cream of mushroom and chicken soups.
This casserole gets mixed together with some flavor weapons like sour cream, garlic powder and sherry. It’s baked in a casserole dish topped with lots of mozzarella and parmesan cheese!
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast, cooked and chopped (See Note 1)
16 oz spaghetti or linguini
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp sherry (dry)
1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cook pasta in heavily salted water for 10 minutes. Drain, do not rinse, and toss with some olive oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl mix together the garlic powder, sherry, sour cream, cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups and chicken broth until well combined. Gently mix in the chopped chicken and cooked spaghetti, tossing to coat.
Pour evenly into a greased 13×9″ pan coated in cooking spray or olive oil and sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheeses evenly on top. Bake for 30 minutes.
Notes:
I like to use 2 rotisserie chicken breasts. Remove skin and chop breast meat into bite size pieces.
