Cheesy Chicken Tetrazzini image

This recipe came from Southern Living, way back in 1987. This is my favorite tetrazzini recipe. A great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. Also, I often find myself with extra pasta...this is a great way to use that up as well!

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The sauce was bland and the chicken was dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and the chicken was overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken tetrazzini, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was tender. I think I'll try it again sometime.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sauce was a little too heavy for my taste, and the chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. The sauce is rich and cheesy, and the breadcrumb topping adds a nice crunch. Definitely a keeper!
