Easy Chicken Tetrazzini
What’s for dinner? Those are words I sometimes dread. Sometimes I have no CLUE what’s for dinner and sometimes I couldn’t care less either. Sounds horrible, I know, but these are words from a tired mommy, lol. ๐ Fortunately, I’ve been better since I’ve made a meal calendar. Thank heavens for pasta dishes!! I have them slated on the calendar at least once a week. Why? They are almost always delicious and they are usually loved by the entire family, from the hubby down to my 1 year old. I mean, you can’t really go wrong with noodles, tons of cheese and chicken, right?!

Oh man…yummy! I am always looking for new and easy recipes to make for my family! Thank you so much for sharing all of these delicious chicken recipes. They are all sure to be winners with my little fam! PINNED!
This looks delicious, Kristyn! I want to dig in right now! Pinning for sure!
Kristyn , Happy New Year! I’ve never made chicken tetrazzini. Looks yummy and so does your crispy chicken pasta. My daughter hates red sauce so these recipes need to go onto my must try list.
Have you tried adding sugar to the red sauce. I am not a huge red sauce fan either but its pretty good with sugar ๐
There is no red sauce in this recipe…
Iโm sorry Desiree, i didnโt realize that you were replying to a different comMent about red Sauce. My apologies.
Looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Can this be frozen? If so, should I cook it first or get it ready to bake and then freeze?
I’ve never freezed it but I’m sure you could get it all ready to cook and then the day off, take it out to let it unthaw and then cook the regular time. ๐
It should freeze well. Just defrost in the fridge and then bake. Because it has dairy in it the consistency may be a little different.
we love this we add mushrooms and pimentos for a twist of flavor. My kids asked for peas in it not sure if that would taste yummy.
No veggies??, I remember growing up tetrazzini having veggies. In our house, it was peas and mushrooms. Weird combo but it worked. Can I suggest cooking pasta less then what it says on the box? If you cook it to done then bake for another hour, you will have mushy pasta. Any casserole that uses pasta and is baked, I cook 1-2 minutes less.
That’s a great suggestion! I have never had that problem, but I could see how you could. And if you want veggies, feel free to add them. ๐
I wondered the same thing about not completely cooking the pasta. I used fettuccine (didn’t have linguine on hand) which I cooked according to the package and then baked it in the casserole. It wasn’t mushy at all. Maybe because it is a little bigger than fettuccine? Great casserole. My family loved it!
I was thinking the same thing. I will add the veggies to mine. Thanks.
If you want to add peas, use frozen and do not cook them first. They will be perfect! They are a great addition to the dish and so colorful.
Good point about cooking the pasta less. Traditionally it’s made with Peas and Mushrooms. I don’t like mushrooms but mine has the peas. I only have one suggestion…you can do without the sour cream but if you do, use a small amount. 2 cups is insane…more of a stroganoff. I recommend 1/2 cup. Bon Apetit, Chef Cosmo
PS- I also would suggest a cheese blend. Recipe calls for Mozarella. I’m Italian but would suggest a not so mild cheese. Ms]ost call for cheddar but I would suggest a Colby/Jack or Cheddarella. TY
Thanks for the suggestions!
While the prep was easy enough, I found this recipe tasteless. Creamy linguini and chicken. And the butter, sour cream, cream of chix soup, (high in sodium) and cheese renders this recipe unhealthy. It sounded italian, to me “tetrazanni” could be nothing but. I tried…got
nothin…sorry!
One would think you could have figured out that this recipe isn’t super healthy from the start before you even decided to make it, simply based on the ingredients. Quickly googling the word “tetrazzini” will let you know that it’s not Italian, but rather American, and is typically presented just like this dish– basically, “creamy linguine with chicken” IS tetrazzini. I made this tonight and I thought it was easy and tasty– definitely not a health food, but a comfort food. It was anything but flavorless.
Oh yes, it’s definitely a comfort food!! Glad you liked it. ๐
Iโve made this twice and I LOVE it. Even on the 3day itโs so good. Itโs only my husband and I so we have lots of left overs.
We could eat it all week long ๐ Thank you for sharing!
so – lighten it up yourself! Fat free sour cream, fat free cream-of-whatever or reduced sodium versions or make your own versions, add in veggies and reduce the amount of cheese or use fat-free/reduced sodium or a combo of fat-free, reduced sodium and regular cheese. Don’t think it tastes great? Add other spices. I almost never use a recipe with the exact ingredients more than once or twice due to family preferences and a low-sodium diet.
Cooking is fun!
Totally agree – I always change things up too. ๐
Sour cream for plain Greek yogurt maybe?
AddRotel tomatos
Well said, Mary! The value of a recipe like this from Lil Luna is in part the basic amounts, cooking times, etc. I’m making this tonight and bought Health Recipe Cream of Chicken and Cream of Mushroom soups. I will gauge how much sour cream to add as I put it all together in a bowl. I considered adding chopped fresh broccoli, but decided it might crowd the 9×12 baking dish, so will slice it into wedges and steam or microwave it separately. Should make for a nice presentation I think. Thanks Lil Luna!!
Thank you so much!! I hope you liked it ๐
Hi Kristyn,
I came out great – I used about 1/2 of sour cream in the recipe and about a handful of the mozzerella – just enough to cover it. Along with the Parmesan, I sprinkled a couple TBS of Italian bread crumbs. Even with the smaller amounts, there wouldn’t have been any room for veggies. Oh, and I used a couple 9 oz packages of cooked sliced chicken breast (Perdue I think). Thanks for the excellent recipe which will become a regular in the rotation!
Sounds perfect!! I am so glad you liked it ๐ Thank you for sharing what you did!!
I added Parmesan/Romano cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and mushrooms. It was perfect! My husband has no sense of smell, so food is bland. He loved this! Just add some ‘extras’, if you like more seasoning : )
Sounds perfect!! Thank you so much for sharing that!!
Yummy!!!! Thanks for sharing!! I used pasta spirals instead of linguini, added 1/2 a raw cauliflower (finely chopped), used a little less butter, and sprinkled breadcrumbs on top with the cheese (I also didn’t bother using the alfoil as I wanted a nice, brown, crispy top).
Mmmmm!!!! It was so yummy that I claimed the leftovers and have been enjoying them these last couple of days. ๐
It is a simple and yet very tasty meal which I have just written up in my recipe collection. Thanks again!!!
I made this tonight, just as the recipe states except my cream of chicken soup was cream of chicken with herbs (just happened to be what I had in the pantry). It is soooo good! Thank you so much! This is going into our regular dinner rotation!
Thanks for stopping by! I’ve never tried the cream of chicken wth herbs, so I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks for the suggestion!
Can you Use cream of muShroom sOup instawd of cream shicken soup?
Yes ๐ Enjoy!!
Thanks for sharing! I am going to try this tonight. Is this dish really only baked at 300 degrees, or is that possibly a typo?
350 for 40-45 in the written recipe. Came out perfect for me!
What are the daily values for this recipe? Fat, carbs, fiber, protein?
This may be a stupid question but is TB tablespoons? or what does it stand for, I have never seen tablespoon written like that (tbsp usually)
Hi, am making this tonight, as tetrazzini is my favorite dish. My only thought on the recipe as written is that chicken breasts come in all weights. How many ounces of chicken would you say you put in this dish? Thanks!!!! I also plan to mix the cheeses because there can never be too much cheese. xoxo
How did it turn out? I’d say it’s about 24-30 ounces of chicken… depends on how much chicken you like. You could always add more or do less. ๐ And you can never go wrong adding more cheese. ;D
Generally speaking, cooks use a capital T, Tbsp., TB, to indicate TABLESPOON, and the lower case letter t, tsp. to indicate teaspoon. Since you are sprinkling both the parmesan and mozzarella cheeses on top of the casserole, you really don’t have to measure the amounts exactly – just enough to give it a good covering. The parmesan is a stronger flavored cheese than the mild mozzarella, so less goes further. Asiago cheese is my favorite type of parmesan, with a nuttier taste – try subbing it for the parm.
Thanks Beck! Hopefully, that helps anyone with questions about that! I love Asiago! Great suggestion:)
This recipe is a huge hit with my family. Even my super picky 6 year old! I’m making it tonight with garlic bread after he begged for “the yummy chicken Tetris stuff” ๐
Going to try this tmrw! BTW is it Parmasean chesse in powder or off the block?
Hi ๐ I’m making this tonight and am planning on using rotisserie chicken. I know it says 4 breasts, but 2 rotisserie chickens sounds like a lot. Would you use one or two chickens?
I’d use one since 1 rotisserie chicken usually feeds about 4, which in mind is about 4 breasts. ๐
Iโd use 1 rotisserie chicken but also include dark meat.
I love the dark meat poultry. I’m new to dentures so it’s so much easier to eat!
Going to give this a try tonight! Quick question… How did you prepare your chicken? Grilled, boiled, fried, etc?
I usually grill or bake it in the oven. For the oven, I usually drizzle olive oil on it and some lemon pepper at 400 for about 30-40 minutes and then I cube or shred. If I’m smart enough and have time, I usually cook it in the crock pot. ๐
This is one of the recipes that my instant pot comes on real handy. It cooks frozen chicken breast in 30 minutes. Just like you would put them in the crock pot for 4-6 hours. It falls apart and will shred with just stirring with a large fork.
I made this tonight as an unplanned meal scraping together what I had on hand. I cut the recipe in half and it filled an 8×8 dish, which was more than enough for our small family. I used 2 cups of rotisserie chicken from Costco, added fresh spinach, and used spaghetti noodles. I also only boiled the noodles long enough to make them able to mix and they finished cooking in the casserole since I detest soggy noodles and prefer al dente. It was delicious and passed the picky toddler test!
I’m so happy to hear that, Molly!! Fresh Spinach would be a great addition – will have to try that next time I make this. ๐
Do u use big cans of cream of chicken. Or small?
The smaller ones that are just over 10 ounces. ๐
This turned out so good, that my husband went back for seconds. This is definitely a keeper. Think I might add a vegetable in it next time.
So glad the fam liked it!! I think Broccoli would be a great addition. Let me know what you end up doing next time. ๐
Made this tonight for dinner. YUM! Thanks so much for the recipe! Will definitely make again!
I’m so glad you liked it. It’s one of our favorites!! Haven’t made it for awhile so I need to add it to the rotation. ๐
This is in the oven right now! I cannot wait to eat it- I had to taste-test when I put it in the pan and it was divine!
Hope it turned out great!! ๐
II’ve never heard of tetrazzini but this looks amazing. When I googled tetrazzini i noticed that a more typical dish has wine…. Is there a reason you didn’t make it with wine or is it just as good without it?
Normally people substitute wine with chicken broth so since the recipe calls for chicken broth, I would think wine would not be necessary. Just my thoughts. Also, I’ve made this recipe and it is flavorful, creamy cheesy deliciousness! ๐
I personally haven’t tried with wine, but we love this, with the broth. You can totally try with wine.
All of these chicken recipes look soooo good. I usually get stuck in a rut and cook the same old chicken dishes. This will be a nice change the Chicken Tetrazzini looks divine and so easy. Thanks for sharing!
if I omit the sour cream does it still taste as good? is there something I could substitute? We aren’t big sour cream people over here. thanks!
You can substitute cream cheese for sour cream.
You could also use plain yogurt and much healthier than SC
I don’t like sour cream at all, but this is my new favorite dish! You just get the creamy, and the sour enhances the chicken flavor
I was going to ask if there was an alternative to Sour Cream because I donโt like it either. Maybe I will try it now because of you!
I hope you will. It does add so much..for the better ๐ Let me know what you think!
Is there any way to make this a freezer meal in a bag vs a casserole dish?
Thanks!
Noodles don’t freeze well. I bet you could make everything except the noodles and freeze. Then add them when you cook/warm it up.
Yes, I agree, Kassia. Thanks for sharing that ๐
everything looks so good! i’m going to make the chicken tetrazzini yummy
WOW!!! Three thumbs up from the family!
I made a couple of changes based on what I had on hand – leftover turkey in the freezer, replaced one of the cans of cream of chicken with cream of mushroom and I added frozen peas! True deliciousness. Thanks.
I am also using left over Turkey. Also adding mushroom and peas and a few green olives.
That’s perfect!! Thank you!!
How many pounds is four chicken breasts? They come in different weights and sizes. Four breasts could be two pounds or three pounds.
Do I use ready-to-serve cream of chicken soup or the kind that is condensed and you add water to make soup?
Im going to make this too i believe its just cream of chicken soup and dont add water to make soup thats where the stalk comes in to loosen the soup ๐
I ended up using one can of condensed cream of chicken, and adding a half of a can of water, in addition to the can of chicken broth and halfed the sour cream. Also added garlic, parsley and other herbs. It was good!
SO glad you liked it – the additional ingredients sound yummy!
This was amazing. I added a little garlic and my husband couldn’t get enough. I will be making this again. I used low sodium soup and low fat cheese couldn’t even tell. Love it!
Can this be assembled at night, refrigerated and cooked the next morning? Taking this to a ladies club meeting.
Made this tonight and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kristyn! Thank you so much for this recipe. I came across it on Pinterest and it took me right back to childhood when my mom would make this. I made it tonight and it was delicious. I only used 1 cup of sour cream and 2 chicken breasts. I also added in some thyme and summer savory (and peas for a veggie). 3 out of 4 family members highly approved (the fourth is a 4 year old and wouldn’t even taste it because it wasn’t “usual pasketti”). Thanks a million!
Gonna attempt to make this Chicken Tetrazzini tonight for my family #!!!### let’s see how well I do…… Ur dish looks awesome hope my dish comes out looking just half as good!!
How did it turn out?
You have some beautiful kids…..and your recipes look so mouth watering……I love chicken tetrazzini and this sound like the best recipe I have seen…..looking forward to making this…
Love your blog……
Thank you so much! That’s sweet of you:) This one is one of our favorites!! I hope you give it a try!
I made this recipe just as stated and it turned out fantastic! The absolute best part was when my “I don’t eat chicken unless it’s a nugget” daughter tasted her ‘no thank you’ helping, piled her plate full, asked for seconds, and then asked when we could have it again!
I’d planned on putting the leftovers in containers to freeze for individual meals, but there weren’t any. Next time I’m definitely making a double batch, because this has gone on the short list of meals everyone in my house will eat!
LOL…yes, it’s the perfect recipe for those picky eaters! We love it! Glad you tried it and know it’s a keeper!! Thanks for sharing!
Holy smokes this was good. I did saute an onion and some mushrooms and added in. I also used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream cause that’s what I had in my fridge also with the cream of mushroom soups and broth I omitted extra salt. It was delish!
Yay!! I wish I liked onions or that’d be a great add in:) Thanks for letting me know!
May I make a suggestion? I made this recipe(with a few changes for personal preference) but found it was perfect to what I was looking for. I coated the chicken pieces with one dry Italian dressing mix and olive oil before cooking. Also instead of two cans cream of chicken, use one and a cream of mushroom (with roasted garlic). A family favorite now.
Sorry missed rating it.
Also it is great with roasted asparagus.
Those changes sound great!! I’m so glad your family likes it!! It’s one of our favorites, too, and I’ll have to try it with your changes!
I am trying out this recipe and I was wondering how do you cook your chicken? Do you boil it or bake it? What kind of spices do you use on the chicken?
You could cook it however you like. I cook it in the crockpot, I bake it, depending on the day or how much time I have, that determines how I cook it. I like to put a few chicken breasts in the crockpot, after buying it and you could sprinkle with just salt and pepper, or Italian seasoning and I like to shred it, so it’s ready when I need it. You could cut the chicken into cubes and fry them in oil, that way, as well. This recipe is great with shredded chicken or cubed. Hope that helps:)
This sounds so good. Making tonite with garlic toast. I’m going to add some mushrooms just because we like them.
Sounds delish!!! Especially, with garlic toast:) Enjoy!!!
mom of FIVE stinkinโ cute kids ?
Poor choice of words if your kids are cute.
Really Sue?! I think her kids are STINKIN’ cute! If you can’t be nice, don’t say anything. She’s putting her life and recipes out there for everyone to enjoy and she’s allowed to use whatever words she wants. Maybe you should leave her blog page.
i agree…..i use that phrase often as my momma said it too. Stinkin’ Cute means cutest ever! And they ARE!!!!
This was really good! I added cayenne pepper & Italian seasoning. My kids loved it. Thanks for the recipe.
Sounds delish!! Thanks for letting me know!!
This recipe sounds delish! I was wondering if you’ve ever froze it to cook later?
I haven’t personally, but you totally could. I would prepare it in a foil pan and just cover it real well. Let me know what you think?
Thanks for this recipe . I love pasta!!!
You’re welcome!! I love pasta too ๐ Let me know what you think!
your chicken tetrazzini is literally my favorite savory food ON EARTH!!!!
Oh, thank you so much!! We sure love it, too!!
Just made this tonight. It was very yummy! Definitely a comfort food. Only thing I would do different next time is add some sautรฉed garlic. I’m a garlic lover…it goes in everything! Thanks for this yummy recipe!
I love garlic too!! That would be yummy! Thanks so much!!
I made this tonight. I changed things up a bit, feeling creative after reading some of the comments. I used Hatch Chili grated cheese instead of mozzarella. I added mushrooms and panko bread crumbs like I had read in some of the comments. I used the tops of 2 green onions and cooked it all at 350 degrees for 55 minutes without foil as I like it a bit crunchy. It was great and was a hit.
Love your changes! Thanks for sharing those!! So glad you liked it!!
This was delicious! However I will have to run an extra two miles tomorrow! The kiddos loved it and I am excited to try it out on my husband. I always test out new recipes on the kiddos first. Next time I will try some swaps like Greek yogurt, less butter and whole wheat linguine. Being from New Mexico I may also add some green chile. Thanks for the recipe, I found it on Pinterest ????
LOL!! Thanks for letting me know! Those changes sound great!!
Have you ever made this the night before and put it in the fridge overnight so it’s ready to go in the oven the next day after work?
I have not, but I’m sure it’d be ok. Let me know how it turns out! Thanks for stopping by!!
This looks great! I am trying to find a dish for a church small group meal. How many does this feed?
I would say a 9×13 can feed 10-12 people, as long as their helpings aren’t huge! If you are taking to a church group, you could maybe double and put in a 11×17 dish. Hope that helps! Thanks!!
I am making this to night, I’ll let you know what my son in law says! โ
Awesome!! I hope you all love it as much as we do!! Thanks so much..I want to hear!
OK, I have 6 grandkids, my daughter & son in law I cooked for this eveming. I almost doubled the recipie. Everyone (but the 4yr old) loved it, I will be making it again! I served it with a salad & warm bread. ????
Yay!! Thanks so much for letting me know!! So glad they liked it!
Sooooooo….here’s the thing, I made this last night. I added mushrooms. Cooked my chicken in the crockpot then used the broth to boil the noodles. I didn’t have any mozz so I used what I had which was Colby jack. And I added some garlic powder. It was so good, I was told, not asked, but told to make it again tonight. So that’s the thing, this dish should come with a disclaimer “will make your family (husband, daughter 9 and son 4) ravenous wacka-do’s who now only want this for dinner”. Thank you for that. ๐
LOL!!! Sorry about that ๐ My kids love it, too!! I’m glad they like it!
This is perfect comfort food.
It sure is!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
I made the Chicken Tetrazzini tonite and it was absolutely delicious!!!!! ???? My family loved It! โกโกโก
I am so happy to hear that!!! Thanks for letting me know!!
Made this tonight and it was a big hit! Can’t make it all the time because we’re trying to eat healthier, but definitely a keeper for a treat!
Thanks and no, can’t have every night…would need to hit the gym hard!!
Any substitute for sour cream? Cuz I don’t like it. Has anyone tried it with cream cheese instead? Thanks!
Any substitute for sour cream, because I don’t like it. Has anyone tried it with cream cheese? Thanks!
I have not. Anyone else?
Use plain yogurt regular or Greek is fine
I was kinda wondering if I could substitute the butter with country crock, or is butter better for the recipe?
You totally could!! I don’t think it’d change it, really. Enjoy!! Thank you!
This dish is marvelous. I made it today and it’s delicious. I did saute’ a small sliced up yellow onion in the butter before adding the rest of the ingredients. I didn’t miss celery but may add it or small peas sometime, but it’s definitely good on its own. For company I would add pimentos for color, but for just me it’s terrific like this. And you can do it all in one pot, drain the pasta in collander and then add all the stuff to that pot to mix before pouring it in the baking dish. I only had to bake for 35 min but left it in the hot oven for an extra 5 min just to be following the recipe. It’s wonderful!
Oh, thank you for letting me know! Those changes all sound wonderful! Thanks again!
And the onion was a complete accident, as I had thought it was in the recipe. Wasn’t until I began sauteeing it that I went back to the computer to double-check the ingredients, haha. But it turned out good. Thank you for this recipe!
I’ve made this it’s deliscious!!
Yay, I’m so glad!! Thanks for trying it and for letting me know!!
Do you use the powder parmesan cheese or shredded parmesan cheese?
I just use grated parmesan cheese, but either would be ok ๐ Thank you so much and hope you like this, as much as we do!
Having guests over for dinner tonight and decided to give this recipe a try. I added some minced garlic, and chopped up some fresh broccoli and carrots to mix in. VERY excited to see how this turns out! Best part is i was able to prep it all this morning, cover and throw it in the fridge until im ready to bake. ๐
Oh, I’d love to know what everyone thinks! I hope it’s a hit. Thanks so much for giving it a try!
Made this tonight. It was great! I had 1 can of cream of chicken and 1 can of cream of celery. Turned out wonderfully!
Sounds perfect! Thanks so much for letting me know.
Loved it , My first try came out excellent !!!!! I will be adding this to my mix of things we eat in my house hold, Also instead of linguini noodles I used to rotoni noodles GREAT OUTCOME
Yay!! Thanks so much for sharing that and great idea to change up the noodles!
In trying to cut out carbs as much as possible, I switched out the noodles with pre-cooked spaghetti squash. I used slices of fresh mozzarella…other than that, I kept recipe the same. It just went into the oven…I am seriously drooling waiting for it!
PS. Your snickerdoodle recipe is in our family Hall of Fame!
So, glad the snickerdoodles made the Hall of Fame!! And, I love your healthier version! I will have to try that. Thanks so much.
Is this a 1 lb pkg of linguini?
Yes ๐ I hope you enjoy!!
This was an instant family favorite. I’ve already made it about 4 more times. Comfort food at its best.
Total comfort food!! I’m so glad your family loves it! Thank you so much!
This is delicious! Because my family is a fan of spices, specifically lemon pepper and GARLIC, I dice up the chicken before I brown it up in a pan and use a good amount of lemon pepper and minced garlic. I can’t wait to make this again, but try using spinach noodles.
Thanks so much for letting me know and spinach noodles sound great!
I need this recipe for 50 servings
You could double or triple..multiply it as many times as you need. Or make 2 double batches in 2 pans? I haven’t made it for that many before. Good luck!
I made this last night and it was so so so good! Even my picky eater enjoyed it ( thats big)! I did saute mushrooms and garlic and added it before baking, other than that I followed it to the T.
I will definitely make this again and soon!
Thanks!
Awe, thank you so much for letting me know!! It’s the perfect recipe for picky eaters ๐
Made this recipe tonight and its was delicious! Kids loved it and came back for more.
Hooray!! My kids love it, too! Thank you for making it and for letting me know!
I made this and it was so delicious! But I changed the recipe to fit the ingredients I had on hand. I did not use cream of chicken soup and sour cream. I put a whole can of chicken broth instead of the half a can it calls for. I used a 6 oz. package of cream cheese (because cream cheese is a stable in my house, we put it in most everything) and around a cup of greek yogurt. I also added some extra spices (though I did not measure how much): dried basil, garlic powder, and onion powder.
That sounds wonderful!! Thank you for sharing!! I’m glad you liked it!
My mom used to make this when I was a kid with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. I had forgotten about it until I read your recipe. I am excited to try it tonight! My mom used to put some melted butter mixed with parm and bread crumbs on the top for some crunch. Looking forward to eating this for dinner! ๐
That sounds delicious!! Thanks for sharing and I hope you like this ๐
I added two cans of milk, otherwise it would have been very dry.
I loved loved this recipe!!! I added sharp cheddar and parm to the mixture. I also added frozen peas, garlic powder and diced onion. It was absolutely my best tetrazzini ever
Sounds yum! Thank you for trying it and for letting me know! I’m glad you liked it!
I make a similar dish that does not have sour cream and freezes just fine. I use macaroni, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, broth as in this one or gravy, then I add some (to your taste) green pepper, a small jar of drained pimento, cooked chicken, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing!
I have made this 3 times for the family and they go for it. I do add granulated garlic, basil and top it with butter and garlic under the cheese. 350 convection/bake. Your recipe works great! Fireman killer meal. Thanks
It was good. I will totally add mushrooms next time!
Yay!! Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Don’t know if family will like this. How would I make a half recipe? Would dividing ingredients in half work?
Yes ๐ Let me know what they think!
My mom makes a similar recipe. She adds mushrooms and green bell pepper which she sautes in sherry till it evaporates. I’m adding the veggies in and cooking as we speak. Will let you know how it turns out!
Yes, please do ๐ I hope you liked it!
Can you make this recipe in the crock pot?
I personally haven’t, but crock pots are great for most recipes ๐ Hope you like it!
I forgott the butter. Will that screw up anything?
How did it turn out? Sorry, to not get back to you in time. The butter helps for sure. Not sure what happens if you forget it?
Looks great! Would love to make this ahead to have in freezer. Would it freeze well? Thanks
Yes, I’m sure it would ๐ Hope you like it!!
I’ve found that dishes containing pasta of any kind DO NOT FREEZE WELL. The pasta always got too mushy for me even if I followed directions exactly or cooked the pasta less.
This recipe is easy to make and absolutely delicious. It’s my go to recipe for short notice when company comes or I just want something quick. I have shared this with several friends and family.
Awe, thank you so much!!! It is great for that ๐
Awesome dish! Not a fan of sour cream, but tried it anyway. Opened a can of cream of celery by mistake, so I used that and a can of cream of chicken. Added a touch of chicken bouillon. Both of us LOVED it! Cut the leftovers into serving sized portions to freeze. Wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in a Ziploc bag. EVERY SINGLE TIME we had the leftovers, it tasted exactly like the first time. Warmed in the oven, haven’t tried the microwave.
Thank you so much for trying it & liking it!! ๐ We love this!!
I tried this recipe after reviewing so many tonight for dinner. It was super easy and came out perfect! Will definitely use this recipe again. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!! That’s why we love it! Glad you liked it!
I look forward to receiving your e-recipe book! Love new recipes that are easy & not loaded with numerous off-the-wall ingredients.
Yay! Thank you so much! I love those kinds of recipes too ๐ Let me know what you think of ones you try!
I just made this for my family this evening and it was a hit! The only change I made was to sub out tuna for the chicken because we are having chicken dishes tomorrow and Sunday. I steamed frozen peas on the side so that those who wanted could mix them in. Delicious!
Sounds great!! I’ll have to try that! Thank you!
What a Beautiful Lady.
Your recipes Rock. Thank You for sharing.
Thanks so much!!
Hello! I was wondering if anyone has tired or would try to substitute the pasta for zucchini noodles? Also how would you recommend them to be prepared for baking?
Thanks!
I personally haven’t, but I bet they would taste good! I would think that you can just cut/shred the zucchini, maybe squeeze the liquid, then you could just toss them in to your prepared sauce? Just a guess though? Good luck!
I would love to be able to save some of your recipes.. like the cream cheese coffee cake, along with the chicken tetrazzini.
Thank you
They are printable or you could find them on Pinterest & save them to a board..whichever is easiest for you. I hope you’ll try them soon!
I was wondering if this chicken tetrazini can be frozen,
Sure can ๐
Just made this-CANNOT WAIT TO TRY!!
I sure hope you like it! Thanks so much!
This Tetrazzini sauce recipe was outstanding!
Indtead of chicken, I used grouss, and instead of noodles I used wild rice. Sadly there wasnt much for left overs. After Thanksgiving I plan to make this usind left over turkey ๐
Turkey would be great in it! Your changes sounds great! Glad you liked it! Thank you for sharing!

Made this the other night and it was a big hit. Everyone loved it. I did not have chicken broth so I used a half can of water and I added a can of mushroom soup. It was very creamy and tasted delicious. We will definitely be having it again. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
You are so nice! I’m glad it was a hit! We love this stuff! Let me know what you think of other ones! Thank you!
Made this with chicken a few weeks ago and everyone loved it, and I mean everyone all the adults and all the kids. Tonight I made it to take over for a family get together and substituted shrimp and cream of shrimp soup for the chicken and cream of chicken soup plus added mushrooms. I already got request for the Christmas and New Year’s day meals.
Sounds great! Love the variations for this recipe! Thank you!
This was easy to make and very good.
Happy to hear that!! Thanks so much for giving it a try!
I made this for dinner. Oh my, how delicious! I will definitely be making this again. So easy.
Yay!! Glad you liked it!! Thank you so much!
Soon as I can get the chance, this will be a definite dinner choice.
I’m anxious in setting some of the other recipes. ????
I hope you like it, as much as we do! Thank you so much! ENJOY!
Made this for dinner, turned out amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Yay! Thank you for trying it! Glad you liked it!
Great recipe. I did add some minced garlic and bacon bits. My family loved it!!!
Sounds perfect!! Thanks for sharing ๐
This is amazing! I made it in the morning and came home (through a miserable blizzard) to it already baked in the evening- perfect comfort food. I did add some garlic powder blend to the sauce, and some chopped spinach for color and nutrition. Love it!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I hope it warmed you up ๐ I love adding garlic powder!
Very good recipe! Super easy too! My family loved it!
Yay!! Thank you!
Iโve not made this yet but from the picture OMG itโs going down in my kitchen today !!
Did you try it? I hope you liked it, as much as we do!
First time I ate it I did not like it, but I decided to give it a chance later that day and fell in love with this food. It is easy to make and taste delicious. It was a big hit with my husband also. If I have mushrooms I add mushrooms to it, but the recipe is great as it is. I am trying not to make it too often so I don’t get bored by it, but I think it is impossible. Thank you for great recipe
You are welcome!! Thank you for trying it!
Tried this and it was perfect. Next time, add black olives. I ccoked my chicken a little longer, so cut baking time to 30 minutes.
That would be great! Glad you liked it ๐ Thank you!
I really like your idea of a menu calendar and will give it a try. I have gotten tired of cooking for a very fussy person. It has taken the fun out of cooking for me.
Oh, I am sorry! I hope that helps!
Wow! This is the recipe I’ve been looking for!! Just made it, and it turned out super yumm-o! I used a leftover rotisserie chicken & then added fresh sauteed mushrooms to mine. I really don’t think you can go wrong with this recipe! Thank you!
No, you can’t go wrong! Thank you so much!
Let me say Yummy. I used as much reduced fat products as I could along with FF mozzarella. Used 1 cup light sour cream and 1 cup nonfat yogurt. Used Heart healthy cream of Chicken soup. Let me tell you the yogurt haters and fake cheese haters in this family have no clue and have asked it be a regular meal. I’m not telling.
LOL!! I wouldn’t tell them either ๐ Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi! What does the TB stand for in regards to the parmasean? Thanks!
TB is tablespoon ๐ Enjoy!
Hi Kristyn,
I am making this today for a Super Bowl Party!!
I can’t wait to try it.
Hope it was a hit!!
they all look good thank you
Thanks so much!!
made this today, EXCELLENT!! After reading comments I did add green onion, mushrooms. Thank you for sharing ๐ I love your blog
You are so sweet!! Thank you so much for trying it!!
Donโt really like using butter. Could you use margarine or country crock light butter?
Yes, of course ๐ Either of those would work ๐
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Looks so good!!
It is!! I sure hope you like it!! ENJOY!
Kristyn, loved your Chicken Tetrazini recipe. My guys aye almost the whole pan in one sitting. Added mushrooms and onion. This would be great with leftover turkey during the holidays also. This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
You are so nice! Thank you for letting me know! Yes, turkey would also be great!!I’m so happy your family loved it!
So delicious! Read reviews. Used 1 rotisserie chicken and added sautรฉed onions, garlic, and mushrooms. I used white wine instead of chicken broth. Reduced to 1 cup sour cream, used 2 can cream of chicken and 1 can cream of celery, added 1 bag frozen chopped broccoli to noodles during last minute, and under cooked noodles by 2 minutes. I also broke up linguini noodles. Stirred in fresh basil after all mixed up and topped it with shredded pepper jack cheese and Panko bread crumbs. So flavorful. My son requested this once a week! Highly recommended โฃ๏ธ
Sorry…, 1 can cream of chicken and 1 can cream of celery. ENJOY
Thank you so much for sharing your changes! They sound great ๐
This recipe is so delicious!! I substituted with angel hair pasta and threw in some peas!! Thank you!!
Perfect!! Thank you for sharing! I am so glad you liked it!
Howdy. I made this recipe the other day. It turned out great! My husband & I enjoyed it. I call my husband Picky Pants on a lot of foods, but he gobbled it down. I will def make this again! I substituted with spaghetti noodles. Broke them up for easy eating turned out great.
Made this tonight. It is delicious. My husband had 2 helpings! I used cut up rotisserie chicken and added mushrooms. I boiled the linguine to a very al dente state because it bakes for 40 additional minutes. Turned out cheesy and perfect….tons of flavor. Will definitely make again. No, not the healthiest recipe, but we all need to splurge sometimes!
I agree!! We all need to splurge sometimes! Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that your family loved it!
This is so wonderful. One of my families favorite meals โค
I agree!! Thanks for stopping by!
Does the chicken soup have to be cooked separately first, before adding to all the other ingredients? Or can u use straight from the can?
Thanks
Not at all..just add it from the cans ๐ Hope you like it!
I served this to my friends last week and they loved it! I used light sour cream, and lower fat soup. Broke up the linguine noodles for easier eating. I will make this again, and again… !
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you! I am so glad they all liked it!
Very good! I don’t boil my pasta for baked dishes, but soak it in warm salted water for 45 minutes. It never overcooks & saves a cooking pot & a heated kitchen. Since I portion & freeze leftovers, I added plenty of chicken broth (2 cups). Surprisingly, after letting it stand for 15 minutes, it firmed up very well. It would have been dry with only 1/2 cup of broth. Between the broth & soup salt is unnecessary. I also added 1/2 t each of poultry & Italian seasonings.
Thank you for sharing what you did ๐
This was a huge hit with my kids!!!! The recipe males quite a bit for a family of 4 so we had leftovers as well. Thank you so much for this recipe!!
You are so welcome! I am glad to share! My kids love this too ๐ Thanks!
I used ONE cup of sour cream (out of laziness that I shall call necessity, not for dietary reasons) and it was still AMAZING. Honestly, I didn’t even miss it – sauce was still creamy and thick, and just as delicious. I just wanted to share that if you were (like me) caught with only one cup of sour cream, tetrazzini can still go on!
That is good to know..thank you for sharing!! Glad it was still good!
Thanks for shAring .. it looks amazing and Iโm goin to try it.
It is!! I hope you like it as much as we do!
I seasoned the chicken with parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, oregano and olive oil to bake. Then followed the recipe as written. This was delicious!!
Perfect!! Sounds yummy! Thank you for sharing!
Love your recipes, fast and simple. Perfect for a busy mother
Thank you!! I love fast & easy recipes & love to share ๐
I made this today using what I had on hand, I used chicken my husband smoked and cut it up. I also added onions, celery and mushrooms. I used frozen egg noodles, which I cooked and added to the mixture.
It was great! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
Sounds delicious!! Thank you for sharing ๐
How big are the chicken breasts you’re using? It seems these days a chicken breast looks like it’s been through the super soldier treatment Captain America got, and I’d hate to end up using far too much chicken my first time out.
I would just say normal size..not huge nor too small?? I usually have about a pound of chicken ๐ Hope that helps!
I’ve tried your recipes. And believe me it was awesome. thanks for sharing amazing recipes.
You are so welcome!! Thank you for trying some recipes. I am glad to hear that you like them!
Everytime I’ve used this recipe I’ve had to use it without the Sour Cream because my picky hubby doesn’t like sour cream but I thought why not just sneak it in there tonight see what he says. I didn’t mention a thing and he said, “Mmm this is even better than before babe what’d you do differently?”. I have to agree sour cream is obviously in the recipe for a reason lol.
LOL!!! I love that you snuck it in! Glad he liked it. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing the recipe! I made it for my boyfriend and he was impressed!!
Love hearing that!! Glad he was impressed! Thank you ๐
I made this dish and my family liked it so much, I had to make it the following week, plus another casserole for Potluck Sunday at church. Sent a dish home with the new Pastor’s family, who loved it as much as we did! Thanks for a keeper!
Woohoo!! I love to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing that ๐
Love this, I often add peas or chopped broccoli. I also have added frozen peas and carrot mixture with great result. no measurement of them I just add till it looks good. Thanks for sharing
Those are great options!! Lots of ways to change it up ๐ Thanks so much for sharing!
Do you know how many it feeds usually?
Depending on how big scoops are, you could feed a good sized family..maybe 15-20?? Now, if scoops are bigger, then obviously less. I take it to family functions & it feeds quite a few!
It looks good
Thank you…it is! ๐ We love it! I hope you try it soon.
This looks delish! I’ve always had this dish made with sliced celery as well Give it some crunch and extra flavor. Also some bread/cracker/panko on top!
Yes, those are great ideas!! Thanks for sharing!
The pioneer woman says to cook the spaghetti al dente before baking chicken spaghetti. Do I cook the noodles all the way through or do I do them Al dente since I am baking the noodles again in the oven?
I usually just cook them according to the box. Really, you could cook them to your liking..no wrong way ๐
I love chicken tetrazzini trying it tonight
I’ll let you know how it turns out, so excited my husband has never had it so will see!
This is our favorite!! I hope you like it!
I made this recipe tonight. Turned out delicious. Thanks.
Thank you for giving it a try ๐ I am glad you liked it!!
I am trying this tonight with a gf homemade cream of chx soup mix and gf thin spaghetti pasta. It sounds amazing and we can’t wait to try it!
I’m only using 2 breasts, cooked in a pan with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper on low until fully cooked. I will then use this recipe, it yields about 1.5 cans of cream of chicken condensed soup. Add in about 12oz of al dente pasta (gf overcooks VERY easily into a gummy mess!), viola. Deliciousness!
homemade cream of chicken condensed soup:
In a sauce pan…(My kids both hound me for any extras whenever I make this as a base for other recipes!)
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup warm water (crush the 3 cubes in a ziploc and put in here or use powdered boullion to taste! Easy does it, you dont want it too salty!)
1 cup milk
3 chicken boullion cubes
1.5 tsp onion powder
Sounds great! Thank you so much for sharing that!
Making this tomorrow to eat in our camper . Love the one pot meals. However I will sautรฉ shallot & add Leseur peas. Also changing the pasta to conchiglie-they will hold the sauce well. Should be Yummy.
Sounds perfect!! Thank you & have fun & enjoy!
Made this using a little sauted onion & bell pepper – some garlic powder. Also added some slivered almonds to give it a little crunch.
Great ideas!! Thanks for sharing that! I am glad you liked it!
Hello Kristen!
I made this recipe tonight and followed you directions! It was amazing! My four grandchildren gobbled it up! I accompanied it with roasted sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts! They had a fit over it! Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us!
You are so welcome!! Thank you for sharing it with them. I am glad they all liked it!
My husband doesn’t care for chicken but I thought this looked so good! Here is what I did. I had 3 pork steaks which I trimmed, cut up in cubes and cooked in olive oil. Instead of the Cream of Chicken, I used 1 can of Cream of Celery and 1 can of Cream of Mushroom. Instead of the chicken broth, I used beef broth. The rest of the ingredients were the same. I did have some fresh grate Parmesan cheese.
My husband absolutely loved this and this is a lot for two people. LOL! We have leftovers and we have enough to freeze half for another week or so. Loved it!
That sounds great! Thank you for sharing that ๐ Will have to try!
That dish looks very attractive.I will do it for my dinner! thank for sharing with us!
Let me know what you think! Thank you so much ๐ Enjoy!
I made this last night and it was fantastic! A fool proof recipe, easy and delicious. I made 1 alteration, I added cut up asparagus. I’m so happy to have a new meal to add to my rotation.
That makes me so happy to hear ๐ Thank you for sharing that!
Been looking for new recipes and also found crafts and more.
Thank you!
Delicious! I usually tweak recipes but this time I followed yours. I am amazed how good and easy this is. I might try it this Fall with leftover turkey. Thank you for a delicious dinner.
So glad to hear that!! No tweaking needed for this recipe ๐ Thank you so much for letting me know!
YUM!! Made this tonight for dinner and my family loved it! Perfect recipe followed it exactly as written. Thank you
That is what I like to hear! Thank you so much for letting me know ๐
What s the best way to cook the chicken?
I like to just add some oil to a pan & cook it that way, until browned & cooked through. Add some salt & pepper. You can in a crock pot. There are lots of ways ๐
I did the crock pot with a lot of seasoning! It was a hit! I added a 3 pepper blend with monterrey and cheddar jack cheese. Thanks helping this non cook.
I am glad it was a hit!! Thank you for letting me know ๐
We made the recipe. It was delicious. It would help if you gave weight on the chicken instead of the quantity. There is a large variance in chicken breast size.
Thanks
I am glad you liked it ๐ Really, the chicken amount can vary. If you like chicken, you can add more or you can always add less. My amounts vary also, I usually use a package with 4 chicken breasts in it.
I wonder how many cans of canned chicken equal 4 chicken breasts?? Have you ever used canned chicken for this??
I haven’t, but you totally could. I am not sure how many would equal 4 chicken breasts. Really, it could be as much or as little as you like. You could add a few cans & if you want more chicken, you could add more. No wrong amount ๐ Hope you like it.
This was a huge hit at my house. It was so simple it literally took a few minutes to put together. I will be making it again and recommend all to try. (I think next time I will add a few veggies)
Yay!! I love to hear that!! Thank you so much for letting me know ๐
I posted this on Facebook a few days ago, a cousin saw it and made it tonight for her family. Big hit!! She said it’s definitely going into the rotation, lol. Now, I have to try it soon.
Yay!! Thank you for letting me know! Thanks for sharing!
In pounds, how much chicken did you use?
It’s maybe close to a pound ๐ Enjoy!!
What size cream of chicken cans? Looks really delicious!
They are like 10 1/2 ounces ๐ Hope that helps! Enjoy!
2 TB of Parmesan cheese. I just must still be asleep but whatโs a TB, table spoon? It just doesnโt seem to be enough.
Yes, tablespoon ๐ It’s the perfect amount, since most is mozzarella.
I can’t wait until i make this lovely dish for my family and friends
I can’t wait for you to try it ๐ I hope everyone loves it!
Looking forward to getting new recipes
I look forward to you trying some ๐
Chicken and cheese how can you go wrong. YUMMY!!
You can’t ๐ Thank you so much!!
If you are in a hurry you can use Tyson white meat chicken in a can for the chicken and the broth. It’s good I use it for several recipes.
Yes! Those are great for when you are short on time. Thanks!
Gonna make this tomorrow! Looks so easy and good!!!
Enjoy!! Hope you like it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE RECIPIES. THE IDEAS ARE GREAT, ALSO.THANKS AGAIN. NEW ADMIRER, EVELYN.
Thanks so much for stopping by!! Excited for you to try some!
This recipe looks delicious. Iโm going to make it next week. Iโve been subbing pasta with veggie noodles, eg Butternut squash, zucchini and sweet potato noodles. I will let you know how it goes.
Perfect!! Healthier options ๐ Thank you & hope you like it!
What’s the serving size + carbs per serving??
Hello… I have made your recipe before and it was a hit. My question is can I put it together one day and bake the next?
Yes ๐
My family loved this!! It was so cheesy & had great flavor! My kids asked me to make it again! I love when I find a recipe that we all enjoy!
YUM!!! I made this and divided in two pans! One for me, and one for my freezer! It froze great!
Great idea!! I am glad it did! Thank you for letting us know ๐
Can the Easy Chicken Tettrazzini recipe be doubled by just doubling everything or what? I’ve got a potluck at church on the 23rd of this month and it’s a “spaghetti” theme. I thought this recipe would be a great alternative to take. My friend made this and raved about it.
Yes..just double all the ingredients & maybe add to an 11×17 pan ๐ I am glad you friend raved about it!! It will be a hit!
THANK YOU
This is so good!! Every time I make a big pot of something good.. like this, my grown kids just happen to show up!! LOL this is a winner for sure. Had to laugh about your pickle remarkโฆ I have an obsession with them also. Ever time we do a big gro .shopโฆ I have at least 3 jars of dill pickles. Hubby saysโ I know your not, expecting!
LOL!! We love this recipe, too! Thank you so much!
Iโve made this a few timesโso yummy! And there is always a lot left over, so thatโs a bonus. Iโll be making it in a few days.. wondering if you would recommend trying it in a slow cooker? Or would it turn out too runny? Of course my chicken would already be cooked and shredded; and I probably wouldnโt add the pasta till towards the end.
I am sure that would work fine. I personally haven’t with this specific recipe, but I don’t see why not ๐
This is a great dish for runners that have to carbo load the night before a meet it is delicious and it all is gone when we take it to a potluck
Lol..it’s definitely a carb load ๐ I am glad you like it!! Thank you for letting me know!
THE BEST DISH EVER! YUMM!!!
I couldn’t agree more!!! Thank you for the 5 stars!!
I love you and all your wonderful recipes. Thank you so much
Awe, that’s so nice ๐ Thank you so much!! I am glad you do!
This truly was the perfect recipe! Very easy to make and quite filling. The flavor is rich and makes it seem like you were cooking all day. I used a packet of rotisserie chicken from Costco, as I was cooking for a building crew who were hungry โNOWโ. My husband came back into the kitchen when done, asking me store some leftovers for his lunch.
I love when they say they want leftovers! This really is a crowd pleaser for all. I am so glad they liked it! Thank you!
I just put a glass dish of it in the oven. I added bag of cooked broccoli, minced onion, 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg and 1/2 tsp. of minced garlic. It looked and smelled delish!!
This yummy recipe is on our 6 week dinner rotation. The kids never complain and always eat it right up! Any Mom understands that making the kiddos happy is half the battle. Thanks for making my Mommy-ing easier!
This was a hit with my kids. We have some type of pasts dish at least once a week and I’m going to add this into the rotation. Thanks for sharing!
This was really good and I was even more pleased when my 2 year old ate it and loved it!!
Yes, it’s great for picky eaters! I am glad he approved ๐ Thank you!
This says it is printable. But there is not a printer icon to do so. SO… I clicked CTRL C and before I could stop it, it printed 75 pages.
Another great go to recipe that everybody likes. Who doesnโt like pasta,chicken and creaminess all in one? Itโs great for feeding a crowd too!
This is in the oven as I type this… I CAN’T wait for dinner tonight….yummy!!! I used rotisserie chicken in THIS dish. even though this is an American dish I added garlic, parsley, italian seasoning to IT as Well. I guess its almost more like alfredo. Thank you for sharing kristyn! I was BRowsing pinterest for a recipe with rotisserie chicken And mozzerealla cheese and WAllah here we go!!
Creamy
Iโve made this 3 or 4 times. Its sooooo Good! Sometimes i add frozen green peas that have been thawed out. Yum!!
Great addition!! I am so glad you like it! Thank you so much!
I’m disappointed with the fact that I used, I think, too small of a pan or I put too much cheese on it. Wait a minute… There’s no such thing as too much cheese. love it love it love it love it love it love it love it
You are so right!! Thank you for giving it a try ๐
This was a big hit with my family, love the recipies on this site
Oh, thank you so much!! I appreciate that! Thank you for stopping by!
This recipe was easy to make and came out delicious. I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, and oregano and baked in the oven for 20 minutes, then diced and added to spaghetti and sauce. my family loved it!
Sounds perfect!! Thank you for sharing that!
I thought this was a great base. Like many others, I felt veggies were a must! I thin-sliced a red, orange and yellow bell pepper and softened them near the end of the chicken cooking phase. replaced the sour cream with non-fat plain greek yogurt, added frozen peas and mushrooms. topped it with half the amount of cheese and used low-fat Mozzarella. the entire family is in love. thank you for providing the basis!
Sounds delicious!! I am glad to share ๐ Thank you so much for sharing that!
This looks amazing! Is there something i can use as a substitute for chicken broth?
You could just do water, but that wouldn’t be very flavorful. I would google & see what options come up that you can have.
Such a great recipe! To me, its better he day after! I skipped the parmesean and oNly bake it for about 30 minutes and itโs still just… SO amazing!
Yay!! Love hearing that! Thank you so much!
i can’t help but chuckle whenever i see this dish b/c I always think back to that old episode of the maury show :P. i think this recipe is good enough to seduce a man xd!
LOL!!! I am glad you think so ๐
Great recipe!!!! Easy, quick, and tastes Great. Love love loVe it
Thank you so much!! I am glad you think so!!
Do you cook the chicken tetrazzini covered or Uncovered?
Uncovered ๐ Hope you like it!!
Made this for dinner and Everyone loved it. Super simple and quick!!
Yay!! I am glad to hear!! That’s why I make it a lot!! Thank you!
what kind of side do you think would be good with this
Oh, man..so many!! Any vegetable, bread, salad, zucchini..Hope those help ๐ Whatever you like, would work.
was AMazing! Followed exactly how the recipe stated, yumm!
Yay!! Thank you for giving it a try!! I am glad you liked it!
made two pans of this on my birthday back in July. I took it to work. I left that day with to empty pans. and now I’m making it for dinner TONIGHT. It’s actually in the oven right now. I added broccoli this time.
Love that!! Thank you for sharing that! Adding broccoli would be great!!
I Was wondering how long to cook the chicken for and on what temperature? Because i dont want the chicken to turn out dry. I Saw online set to 400 and bake for 22-26Min.
Made THIS TONIGHt. Was pretty Good. Didnt seem creamy enough though. BEfore i cooked the chicken i tossed it in 2tbs olive oil, 1tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp seasoning salt, 1/4 tsp paprika and 1/4 tsp black pepper. And got it good and covered. Then i baked it UNCOVEREd on 400 degrees for 22-26min. And I added in SOme sauted onions to the whole mixture Noodles and All. And after added it to the dish I added 4TBS of grated parm to it instead of 2. And added the mozz and then sprinkled with BREADCRUMbs on the top before baking.
Sounds great! I am glad you liked it! Thank you for sharing that!
That is about right. Internal temp to about 165 degrees F. Hope that helps!
great recipe!
What are the nutritional facts. Serving size. CALORIES…Etc
I made this for supper tonight. Very tasty. Great comfort food. Thanks!
Fyi: for even more flavor, use cream of chicken with herbs soup, and grate fresh parmesan or ASIAgo cheese on hot pasta (the part underneath the top layer of cheese)
Sounds great!! Thank you for sharing that!!
This recipe is incredible! Itโs my go to recipe for 101 things to do with leftover turkey!!!
Yay!! I love to hear that! Thank you so much!
We tried this after it was featured on our work blog. Since we have a good amount of leftover turkey, we used that. It had rave reviews from our pickiest eater. Hubby and I have been thinking of how we can add different meat and veggies.
Thanks for an awesome recipe!
You are so welcome!! I am so glad you liked it!! It would be great with any meat, really!
So delicious! Creamy noodles and great flavor! You can’t go wrong with this recipe!
Thank you for saying that! I am so happy that you like it!
This was so good.
I am glad you liked it! Thank you for trying it & letting me know ๐
I ADDED 1 handful of ITALIAN seasoning as well. Also since I didn’t have mozzarella, I substituted Colby jack. It turned out fantastic!! Sorry to modify the recipe but it worked out wonderful. Will still try the original and am sure it will be great as well.
I am so glad you did!! That’s what’s great about cooking! Thank you for sharing what you did ๐
Has anyone tried breaking up the pasta before cooking? That is what my old recipe calls for and I think it would make it easier to eat. Going to try this next time my daughters visit.
No, but that would be just fine ๐ Hope you all like it!
Made this last night only thing I added was flattened buttermilk biscuits on top to add a crust to it came out WONDERFULLY..My family deemed Mondays as TETRAZZINI day
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing that. I am so glad it was a hit!
never making this before whats the best way to cook chicken breast?
I like to cook in a skillet with a little salt, pepper, & olive oil until internal temp is 165 degrees Fahrenheit (if you have a meat thermometer). You can also cook in the crock pot on low for about 3 hours. You can add whatever seasonings you like. Hope that helps ๐
Loved this. Was going to try it in A oblong crockpot, how long would you suggest in crockpot?
I haven’t tried, but maybe low for a few hours?
This is soo good๐I am making this for christmas wondering if i can make the day before and then bake?
You sure could ๐ Enjoy!!
my husband and i Loved this recipe. i cut the recipe in half since it’s just the two of us and i followed it exactly other than adding a drained 6.5 oz. can of mushrooms and sprinkling a handful of breadcrumbs on the top. i did cut about 3 minutes off the cooking time of my linguine like others suggested. It was fantastic, and we have just enough leftover for tomorrow night. Thanks.
