Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccine, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken strips in the hot oil until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl, leaving pan drippings in skillet. Melt margarine in the hot skillet; cook and stir mushrooms, onion, and garlic in skillet until mushrooms have softened and given up their liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir red bell pepper into mixture and sprinkle with flour. Stir to coat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Slowly mix chicken broth into vegetables, stirring to form a thick sauce; mix cream and milk into sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Mix 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and black pepper into sauce and simmer until cheese have melted and combined with sauce.
- Spread half the cooked fettuccine pasta into bottom of prepared casserole dish, top with half the chicken and half the cream sauce. Repeat layers once more and sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Swiss cheese, 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese topping is nicely browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or it will become tough and dry.
- Use a good quality white wine. The white wine in this recipe adds a lot of flavor, so it's important to use a good one. Choose a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with the ingredients. This recipe is very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. For example, you could add different vegetables, herbs, or spices.
Conclusion:
Creamy Chicken Tetrazzini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The creamy sauce, tender chicken, and al dente pasta make this dish a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give Creamy Chicken Tetrazzini a try.
