Easy Chicken Tetrazzini

 
This recipe is so creamy and delicious and great for a crowd.  Even if you don't have a crowd, it's nice for leftovers.  I hope you give it a try. 


3-4 chicken breasts
13.25 ounce package spaghetti (I love Dreamfields pasta, which is lower in carbs)
1/4 cup butter
8 ounces mushroom, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can low sodium chicken broth
about 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Parmesan cheese, for garnishing the top

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and bake for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Let cool and then chop.

Cook the spaghetti noodles in boiling salted water, but under cooking them by a few minutes. This just makes them less mushy when they cook in the oven later on.  Drain and put in the bottom of a 9 x 13" pan. Add the chopped chicken on top of this.

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the minced garlic and the sliced mushrooms and sauté for several minutes. Add the two soups, chicken broth and the thyme and bring to a boil. Pour this mixture over the spaghetti and the chicken.

Sprinkle on the cheddar cheese and then the Parmesan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, until heated through and bubbly.

    You sure inspire me, Kitty! And your salted apple crisp as dessert? Perfect meal - maybe a small salad and a baguette and voila, all figured out for me. : - ) TYWM for your loyal visits. Hugs.

  10. Kitty, this sounds delicious and I love casseroles in the fall and winter. I'd add some broccoli too. I served your Checkerboard Chili and Corn Bread to friends last evening, and they want the recipe! It was so good that I'm making it for a different group on Saturday. Easy and tasty is my motto. LOL

  15. Chicken Tetrazzini is one of my very favorites, Kitty, and I've never tried it with creamed soups~ pretty brilliant! So many people think Campbells Cream of anything are XXX, but I love the stuff for ease of cooking!! I will be trying this soon!

  20. Okie dokie, Kitty. I'll try this on either Monday or Tuesday of the coming week. I have a package of chicken breasts that need to be used, and I was hoping to do something different. I've never made chicken or turkey tetrazzini. My Mom made it years ago, but she can't remember how. (That little chick is really not much of a cook, but this was one thing she managed to make that didn't send us all scrambling for a toilet!!!) Ramon is lactose intolerant, but I think he'll make an exception for something that looks (and I am sure SMELLS!) this good!!!
