Time 1h

Yield 2 casseroles, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
1 cup onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup celery, finely chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3/4 teaspoon salt
24 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup dry sherry
2/3 cup flour (lightly spooned into measure)
3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth, fat-free & low sodium (or use a homemade broth)
9 ounces parmesan cheese, shredded (divided)
4 ounces fat free cream cheese (block style)
7 cups vermicelli, cooked (about 1 lb uncooked pasta)
4 cups cooked chicken breasts, chopped (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Melt butter in a large stockpot coated with cooking spray over medium high heat.
  • Add onion, celery, pepper, salt, and mushrooms; saute 4 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Add sherry and cook 1 minute.
  • Gradually add flour to pan, cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk (mixture will be thick).
  • Gradually add broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently so it does not burn. Remove from heat after 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 3/4 cups Parmesan cheese and cream cheese, stirring with whisk until cream cheese melts.
  • Add pasta (precooked) and chicken and stir until blended.
  • Divide pasta mixture between 2 (8 inch square) baking dishes coated with cooking spray.
  • Combine breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and sprinkle evenly over pasta mixtures in the two baking dishes.
  • Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes prior to serving.
