Easy Chicken Tetrazzini?

[mskay]

I remember someone at work telling me that she made this when she was in a hurry because it was so easy. I just looked it up in my cookbook and their seemed like a bunch of ingredients. Does anyone have an easy, streamlined version recipe for this?

Chicken Tetrazzini

1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
3 Tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups cream ( I now use the Landolakes FF)
1/2 cup sherry or white wine
4 cups cooked chicken, cubed
1/2 pound thin spaghetti broken in half or thirds, cooked and drained
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grease a shallow 2-quart casserole.

In a frying pan sauté the mushrooms in the butter.

In a mixing bowl combine the mushrooms with the cream, sherry, chicken and spaghetti.

Place into the prepared casserole and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Bake in a 350º oven for 30 minutes.


Serves: 6 to 8


I think this is pretty easy. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I haven't made this in years, but I used to bring it to a lot of potluck suppers and it went over pretty well.

Beth,

I know what you mean. I haven't made it in over ten years, and I use to make it all the time.

I actually saw it last year on a couple of restaurant menus, as bringing back the oldies in a new light way!

It really can now be made in a low fat version and remain pretty tasty. It comes in handy after Thanskgiving - which come to think of it is only 4 months away!


I am in no means trying to rush away the summer either.
