Chicken Tetrazzini
Description
Chicken Tetrazzini uses cooked, chopped chicken breast combined with spaghetti that is cooked just shy of al dente to maintain some firmness after baking. The sauce blends canned cream of chicken and mushroom soups with chicken broth and minced garlic, creating a creamy and savory base. A chicken bouillon base intensifies the chicken flavor. The mixture is thoroughly combined, poured into a baking dish, then topped with shredded mozzarella cheese.
During baking at 350°F, the mozzarella melts and forms a mild golden crust while the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and pasta strands. The result is a hearty casserole combining tender, juicy chicken pieces with soft pasta and a creamy sauce layered with mild, melty cheese.
This dish is typically served warm as a main course casserole, offering a filling option that can be prepared ahead and baked as needed.
