Ingredients for Addicting Chicken Tetrazzini

  • 2 cups cooked egg noodles
  • 1.5 lbs cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Green Onions
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Dry Sherry
  • White Pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Reduced Sodium Fat Free Chicken Broth

How to Make Addicting Chicken Tetrazzini

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season shredded cooked chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cooked chicken. Reserve the rest in an 8x11 inch casserole dish.
  4. In the same pan (or a large skillet), melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms; sauté until onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and sherry (if using). Bring to a simmer.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, flour, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and black pepper until smooth.
  7. Slowly whisk the milk mixture into the simmering broth, stirring constantly until thickened.
  8. Stir in sour cream.
  9. Add the reserved chicken and cooked egg noodles to the sauce. Mix well to combine.
  10. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
