Light Chicken Tetrazzini image

This came from Cooking Light as a Turkey Tetrazzini, but I used leftover chicken which worked well. Very creamy and yummy! This can be made ahead and refrigerated--just bake before you're ready to serve. It makes 6 very generous servings.

I love that this recipe is lightened up with Greek yogurt. It's still creamy and delicious, but it's not as heavy as traditional chicken tetrazzini.
