I watched Giada make this on her show "Everyday Italian". I printed the recipe and I've made it a few times. It works well with left over turkey from Thanksgiving. It's a favourite in my family.

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 22

CASSEROLE
9 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 medium chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 lb button mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 c dry white wine
1/3 c flour
4 c whole milk, room temperature
1 c heavy whipping cream, room temperature
1 c chicken broth
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
12 oz linguine
3/4 c frozen peas
1/4 c fresh italian parsley, chopped
TOPPING
1 c parmesan cheese
1/4 c dry italian seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • 2. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a deep large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook until pale golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Coarsely shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and into a large bowl.
  • 3. Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 1-2 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme, and saute until the onion is soft. Add the wine and simmer until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the chicken.
  • 4. Melt 3 more tablespoons butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cream, broth, nutmeg, remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes.
  • 5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Drain. Add the linguine, sauce, peas, and parsley to the chicken mixture. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta and the mixture is well blended.
  • 6. Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Stir the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the pasta. Dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top and the sauce bubbles, about 25 minutes.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
1 (12 ounce) package rotini pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 ¼ cups milk
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and a good quality white wine.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked through but still moist and tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and vegetables. If it's too thin, add a little more flour or cornstarch.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to customize chicken tetrazzini. You can add different vegetables, herbs, or cheeses. You can also use different types of pasta, such as penne or rotini.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken tetrazzini is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken tetrazzini is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken tetrazzini that's sure to impress your family and friends.
