Easy Chicken Tetrazzini

What’s for dinner? Thank heavens for pasta dishes!! I have them slated on the calendar at least once a week.

Why? They are always delicious and usually loved by the entire family. I mean, you can’t really go wrong with noodles, tons of cheese and chicken, right?!

Today’s recipe for Chicken Tetrazzini happens to be one of those yummy recipes that everyone enjoys. If you look at the ingredients, it’s pretty apparent why it would be so tasty (butter, sour cream, cream of chicken, mozzarella cheese).

With those kinds of ingredients, it’s no wonder everyone (even the kids) loves this recipe! I think you’ll love the simplicity and delicious-ness of this great dinner idea.

How to Make Chicken Tetrazzini

This pasta dish is so simple and doesn’t take too much to prep.

PASTA. Cook noodles, to al dente, according to the box instructions. Drain and set aside.

SAUCE. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup butter, cooked chicken, soup, sour cream, salt, pepper and chicken broth. Mix well and then add in cooked noodles. Stir until the noodles are evenly coated.

BAKE. Spray a 9×13 baking dish and pour in the noodle mixture. Sprinkle cheeses on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

Casserole Variations

  • Vegetables. Add in vegetables like peas, corn, broccoli florets, mushrooms, onions.
  • Seasonings. Season with garlic salt, parsley flakes, add a little heat after it has been baked with some red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
  • Pata. Substitute the linguine with fettuccine, tagliatelle or spaghetti.
  • Chicken. Many grocery stores have fully cooked seasoned chicken in the refrigerator section. You can also buy thick slices of chicken from the deli to cube or a rotisserie chicken to slice and cube. This recipe is also great for that leftover chicken sitting in the fridge.   
  • Quick Pan Fry. Cut raw chicken into bite-size pieces. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet and add the chicken. Season with salt and little pepper. Every 1-2 minutes give the chicken a stir until cooked. To test I will cut a couple of the large pieces in half to check for doneness. 
  • Soup. Cream of Mushroom Soup also works in the recipe.
  • Cheese. Change it up by using different cheese.
  • Meat. Use turkey instead. Be sure to check out our Turkey Tetrazzini too!

    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!

    1. 5 stars
      I’ve made this many times and followed these directions closely. It turns out perfect, never mushy! I have added mushrooms the last couple of times and it’s great!

  2. 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.

    1. 5 stars
      Have you tried adding sugar to the red sauce. I am not a huge red sauce fan either but its pretty good with sugar 🙂

        1. I’m sorry Desiree, i didn’t realize that you were replying to a different comMent about red Sauce. My apologies.

    1. 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. 😉

    2. 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.

      1. 5 stars
        I plan On making this tOnight. Will halve the recipe and add some mixed vegetables to up the nutrition factor.

    3. 5 stars
      I’d add just a little extra sauce or just extra broth to it. Pasta is known to soak up liquid. I could be wrong. Just an idea. Extra sauce never hurts anything. 🙂

      1. 5 stars
        If you cook the pasta until about a minute under al dente, it will finish cooking in the soup mixture in the oven, only absorbing what’s needed to finish cooking. That’s why I use Barilla pastas. It never overcooks or gets mushy. You shouldn’t need to add more liquid, at least, I wouldn’t.

  3. 5 stars
    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.

  4. 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.

    1. 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. 😉

    2. 5 stars
      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!

    3. 5 stars
      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.

    4. 5 stars
      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

  5. 5 stars
    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. 😉

    It is a simple and yet very tasty meal which I have just written up in my recipe collection. Thanks again!!!

  6. 5 stars
    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!

    1. 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!

        1. 5 stars
          WE’VE HAD A SIMILAR RECIPE IN OUR FAMILY FOR YEARS, I USE 1 CAN of CREAM OF CHICKEN, AND One CAN OF Cream of muSHROOM. I ALSO ADD MUSHROOMS AND ON OCCASSION ONIONS FOR A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TASTE. I now use less sour cream, Which is fat free, no sodium chicken broth, and fat free soup and cheese to cut back on calories. One of our Favorite dishes. You can totally modify to add or take out many ingredients to make it your own.

  7. 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?

  8. 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)

    1. 5 stars
      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

      1. 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. 😉 And you can never go wrong adding more cheese. ;D

  9. 5 stars
    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” 🙂

  10. Hi 🙂 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?

    1. I’d use one since 1 rotisserie chicken usually feeds about 4, which in mind is about 4 breasts. 😉

  11. Going to give this a try tonight! Quick question… How did you prepare your chicken? Grilled, boiled, fried, etc?

    1. 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. 😉

    2. 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.

  12. 5 stars
    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!

    1. 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. 😉

  13. 5 stars
    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.

    1. So glad the fam liked it!! I think Broccoli would be a great addition. Let me know what you end up doing next time. 😉

    1. 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. 😉

  14. 5 stars
    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!

  15. 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?

    1. 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! 🙂

      1. I personally haven’t tried with wine, but we love this, with the broth. You can totally try with wine.

  16. 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!

  17. 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!

    1. 5 stars
      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

      1. I was going to ask if there was an alternative to Sour Cream because I don’t like it either. Maybe I will try it now because of you!

    1. 5 stars
      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.

  18. 5 stars
    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.

  19. How many pounds is four chicken breasts? They come in different weights and sizes. Four breasts could be two pounds or three pounds.

    1. 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 🙂

    2. 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!

  20. 5 stars
    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!

  21. 5 stars
    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!!

  23. 5 stars
    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……

    1. Thank you so much! That’s sweet of you:) This one is one of our favorites!! I hope you give it a try!

  24. 5 stars
    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!

    1. 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!

  25. 5 stars
    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!

  26. 5 stars
    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.

    1. 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!

  27. 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?

    1. 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:)

  28. This sounds so good. Making tonite with garlic toast. I’m going to add some mushrooms just because we like them.

  29. 5 stars
    This was really good! I added cayenne pepper & Italian seasoning. My kids loved it. Thanks for the recipe.

    1. 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?

  30. 5 stars
    Just made this tonight. It was very yummy! Definitely a comfort food. Only thing I would do different next time is add some sautéed garlic. I’m a garlic lover…it goes in everything! Thanks for this yummy recipe!

  31. 5 stars
    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.

  32. 5 stars
    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 ????

  33. 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?

    1. 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!!

      1. 5 stars
        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. ????

  34. 5 stars
    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. 😉

    I was kinda wondering if I could substitute the butter with country crock, or is butter better for the recipe?

  38. 5 stars
    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!

      1. 5 stars
        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!

    1. I just use grated parmesan cheese, but either would be ok 🙂 Thank you so much and hope you like this, as much as we do!

  39. 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. 🙂

    1. Oh, I’d love to know what everyone thinks! I hope it’s a hit. Thanks so much for giving it a try!

    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

    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!

    1. So, glad the snickerdoodles made the Hall of Fame!! And, I love your healthier version! I will have to try that. Thanks so much.

    This was an instant family favorite. I’ve already made it about 4 more times. Comfort food at its best.

  44. 5 stars
    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.

    1. 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!

  45. 5 stars
    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!

    1. Awe, thank you so much for letting me know!! It’s the perfect recipe for picky eaters 🙂

  46. 5 stars
    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.

  47. 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! 🙂

  48. 5 stars
    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

  49. 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.

  50. 5 stars
    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

  51. Don’t know if family will like this. How would I make a half recipe? Would dividing ingredients in half work?

  52. 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!

    1. 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?

    1. 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.

  53. 5 stars
    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.

  54. 5 stars
    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.

    1. Yay! Thank you so much! I love those kinds of recipes too 🙂 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!

  58. 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!

    1. 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!

  59. 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

    1. 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!

    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 🙂

    1. They are 🙂 At least, when my cursor is over the picture, the PIN button shows up, so I could PIN it. You might have to add the Pinterest on your toolbar or check your options.

    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.

    1. 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.

    Soon as I can get the chance, this will be a definite dinner choice.

    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!

    1. How much garlic powder would YOu use? Or Is fresh better sauteed In butter? And if You use VEGGIEs do you put THe raw? Im speaking of broccoli.

  65. 5 stars
    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

  69. 5 stars
    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.

    made this today, EXCELLENT!! After reading comments I did add green onion, mushrooms. Thank you for sharing 🙂 I love your blog

    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.

    1. You are so nice! Thank you for letting me know! Yes, turkey would also be great!!I’m so happy your family loved it!

  72. 5 stars
    So delicious! Read reviews. Used 1 rotisserie chicken and added sautéed 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 ❣️

    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.

  74. 5 stars
    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!

    1. I agree!! We all need to splurge sometimes! Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that your family loved it!

  75. 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

  76. 5 stars
    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… !

  77. 5 stars
    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.

    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!!

  79. 5 stars
    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!

  80. 5 stars
    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!!

  81. 5 stars
    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!

  82. 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.

    1. I would just say normal size..not huge nor too small?? I usually have about a pound of chicken 🙂 Hope that helps!

    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.

    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!

  86. 5 stars
    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

      1. 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!

  87. 5 stars
    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!

  88. 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?

    1. I usually just cook them according to the box. Really, you could cook them to your liking..no wrong way 🙂

  89. 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!

          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

  90. Making this tomorrow to eat in our camper . Love the one pot meals. However I will sauté shallot & add Leseur peas. Also changing the pasta to conchiglie-they will hold the sauce well. Should be Yummy.

  91. Made this using a little sauted onion & bell pepper – some garlic powder. Also added some slivered almonds to give it a little crunch.

    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!

  93. 5 stars
    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!

    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.

    1. So glad to hear that!! No tweaking needed for this recipe 🙂 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

    1. 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 🙂

        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.

    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

    1. I am glad you liked it 🙂 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.

  98. I wonder how many cans of canned chicken equal 4 chicken breasts?? Have you ever used canned chicken for this??

    1. 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 🙂 Hope you like it.

    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!

  107. 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.

    1. Yes..just double all the ingredients & maybe add to an 11×17 pan 🙂 I am glad you friend raved about it!! It will be a hit!

  108. 5 stars
    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.

    I’ve made this a few times—so yummy! And there is always a lot left over, so that’s a bonus. I’ll 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 wouldn’t add the pasta till towards the end.

    1. I am sure that would work fine. I personally haven’t with this specific recipe, but I don’t see why not 🙂

    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 “NOW”. My husband came back into the kitchen when done, asking me store some leftovers for his lunch.

    1. 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!

  112. 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!!

  117. 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.

    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!

    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!

    1. You could just do water, but that wouldn’t be very flavorful. I would google & see what options come up that you can have.

    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.

  125. 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.

    1. 4 stars
      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.

  126. 5 stars
    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)

    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!

  128. 4 stars
    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.

  129. 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.

    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

    1. 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 🙂

  131. 5 stars
    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.

    1. I like to use linguine, but really it could be any pasta, even spaghetti noodles or fettuccine noodles. Hope that helps!

    this is my first TIME TO hear about tetrazinni recipe. is this like basically a pasta in milk but baked?
    how is it different from using white bechamel sauce? just add a bit of milk or water…

    can i use olive spread instead of pure butter? i tend to do this in my baking cakes…not so great but good enough….

    1. A bechamel sauce is made by whisking milk with flour, but this sauce doesn’t have either. It’s a basic white sauce. I have not tried using olive spread, so I can’t tell you for sure how it will turn out.

    This recipe was Similar to another from Pioneer Woman that i really like, but so Much better!

    I cooked up my chicken in the instantpot and reserved the cooking liquid to use as my “broth”. I also cooked my noodles in the InstantPot, just making the recipe that much quicker.

    I did make tWo changes. 1) rather than add butter to the sauce, i added butter (reduced to just 2 Tbs) right to the hot noodles and stirred until melted, then i Combined my sauce and mixed everything together. Then after topping with cheese i 2) added a sprinkling of garlic bread seasoning (parmesan cheese, salt and herbs) to the top for color, texture and flavor. It was so good!

    This is such an easy and dELICIOUS recipe for the pickiest of eaters!! My 10 year old loves it!!!?

  148. has any one cut this recipe in half? Its just my husband and I, and well we like left overs I think there would still be to much. Would it still cook it for 40-45 minutes or do you think I should shorten the cooking time? Thanks!

    1. I have not, but you definitely could. Since, the pan will be smaller, the baking time will take a little longer, but I am not positive about how much longer. Maybe check it at the 45 min, but then add 5 min at a time, until done.

  149. 5 stars
    Found this recipe off of pinterest and seriously….one of the best tasting meals i’ve ever had! it’s a family favorite for sure! thnk you 🙂

    1. Just prepare it however you like to cook your chicken. I like to either bake some of fry some up, when I buy it, so it’s ready for me. I will just season with salt & pepper & maybe some Italian seasoning or garlic pepper. Then it’s ready to shred or dice. Hope that helps 🙂

    I added sauteed fresh mushrooms and this was just about the best thing I’ve ever tasted, and my whole family agreed! Lots of calories even with light sour cream and low fat soup (i used one cr of chicken and one cr of mushroom), but it will definitely be my “go-TO” meal for company from now on.

    Made this last night and we loved it! Halved the batch and added whole wheat pasta, mushrooms and frozen peas. Also, I used greek yogurt in place of sour cream and reduced it further by half (per suggestions in other comments). Tasted delicious and I look forward to making this again! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂

    This was so good! I did modify it a bit. I used one can cream of chicken and one can cream of mushroom. I also added some green and red peppers. I cooked the chicken, green and red peppers in garlic and butter. I also used Monterey and mozzarella cheeses and left out the parm. Even my super picky toddlers enjoyed this! This will definitely go on our regular menu.

    Fantastic! My picky family gobbled it down. I split the amount into three smaller dishes, 1 For our family, 1 for my mother and 1 to put in the freezer for later. There was nothing left to put in the freezer. They actually took a fork and ate it right out of the dish!

    5⭐️‘S no doubt! MY family loves tHis recipe. I add a Bag of frozen peas and carrots to it to get some veggies in. I partially cook them in the microwave First. My sister made one with veggies and one without for her husband’s birthday party and the one with the veggies went first. Go Figure!.

    I added English peas to it, but that is all i changed. my husband raved! It was very good. For me: It made more than a 9 x 13, and a large bowl was actually needed to mix everything.

    This was very very good! Thanks for sharing! I was gonna go by what you used, but i did not have all of the same things, so i had no choice but to use what I had. I used 1 can of cr of chicken and 1 of cr of celery (gave it a veggie too). I only had 8 oz of sour cream, so i used that. I only had vegetable broth, so i used it instead. Didn’t have mozzarella ch, so i used colby jack and monterrey. I used spaghetti noodles. Oh my, what a very tasty meal. First time making, a hit with a picky 16 year old. A side salad was perfect. He hates peas and mushrooms. Thanks darling!

    Looks good, but way toomuch sodium. With all the sodium iN the soup, and the cheese, you ABSOLUTELY do not need to add another teaspoon of salt. You could also use low sodium broth, and Unsalted butter. This would cut way back on the sodium, while still being delicious. TOO MUCH sodium is one of the worst things you can do for your health. Cheers!

    Thank you to the people that actually made this and posted a useful comment. Majority of people read reviews to see if dish is worth making or if they should make adjustments.
    That being said the veggie idea was great, I also didn’t bake mine because I’m not a fan of casseroles.

    This was so so good and a hit at my house. The reason I gave it a 4 star is because I adjusted the flavour as it was a little bland for me by adding seasonings to the soup mixture- I added garlic powder (about 2 tsp) and Italian seasoning (about 1 tbsp) and it was perfect. Will definitely be making again!

  174. It doesn’t say whether to bake covered or uncovered. I don’t want the cheese on top to get too brown. Any feedback? I’m going to try to cover all but last 19 minutes to brown.

    Even my oldest, picky son loves this. He doesn’t like anything I put cream of mushroom or chicken soup in.
    We have hearty apperites and this makes a lot and fills ya up.
    Thanks for sharing.

    fantastic!! I didn’t have parmesan so used cheddar and mozzarella. Would be wonderful for leftover turkey and might even work with a small can of canned beef in a pinch.

  177. I love this recipe, but I’m always boggled by the amount of food it makes. I filled two 9×13 pans the first time I made it. Since then I started using one huge 11x15ish pan. Am I doing something wrong? Whole 16 oz box of linguine?

    I make this A LOT!!! It’s one of my go to’s when I’m lost and can’t think of anything for dinner. I cheat I use a HUGE bowl that we use for Halloween candy and put gloves on and mix it that way then throw in a pan. 🤪 Who ever came up with this god bless you! 🥰

    Wow, where has this recipe been all my life?! It will be going on the rotation for sure as it was a big hit. This is clearly one of those classics you can’t mess up; I didn’t have everything as stated, only had gluten-free spaghetti, used Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, and added my own seasonings (ground rosemary and thyme). Everyone went back for seconds, and my hubby claimed the leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch. Thank you!

    This is one of my kids favorite recipes! It’s super filling and makes a ton. Great for days when we have lots of kids and friends over, or for weeks when we need leftovers. It’s super easy to make and the ingredients are easy to find and prep. Winner for sure!

    Love this recipe! It’s my go-to for delivering meals to a new mom or someone who needs a little help. It’s an easy to follow recipe and always turns out so delicious. Toddler friendly too! 🙂

    This was a winner with everyone! It’s not often that I find a recipe that pleases everyone so this’ll definitely be in our monthly rotation.

    I feel like it’s unfair for me to rate a recipe containing something I don’t eat. I’m a vegetarian. My sun said “5 stars”
