Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantities |
|---|---|
| Chicken | 2 pieces |
| Spaghetti noodles | 8 oz |
| Sour cream | 8 oz |
| Cream Soup Mix (Replacement for Cream of ___ Soups) Substitute | 2 cans |

Directions:
-
Cook Spaghetti:
- Begin by cooking the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.
-
Prepare Chicken Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, and cream of mushroom soup substitute. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
-
Assemble:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a 3-quart baking dish, combine the cooked spaghetti and the chicken mixture. Gently fold everything together until the spaghetti is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
-
Cheesy Finish:
- Sprinkle a generous amount of Parmesan cheese over the top of the spaghetti and chicken mixture.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbling and the cheese has melted into a golden perfection.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once done, remove the Chicken Tetrazzini from the oven.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Alternative Cooking Method:
- If you’re pressed for time, you can also prepare this dish in a crockpot.
- Simply follow the same steps, but instead of baking, place the mixture in a crockpot on high for 2-3 hours until heated through.
-
Microwave Shortcut:
- For the quickest option, you can warm individual servings in the microwave. Although, I must say, the oven or crockpot method truly enhances the flavors!
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Once ready, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chopped chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
This Chicken Tetrazzini is a cozy, creamy delight that is sure to become a family favorite. Whether you choose the oven-baked method for a crispy, cheesy finish, the slow-cooked crockpot version for a hands-off approach, or the microwave for instant satisfaction, each bite promises comfort and satisfaction. Serve it up with a side of garlic bread and a crisp salad for a complete meal that will have everyone coming back for seconds! 🥖🥗
