Chicken Tetrazzini – Comfort Food To The Max!

Chicken recipe, poultry casserole, turkey recipe, turkey leftovers
A perfect comfort food casserole for a cold damp day, Chicken Tetrazzini.

What to do with left over chicken from last night? It would be great to get another meal out of it but there’s only about 2 cups of chicken meat. It’s a chilly, rainy spring day so I want something warm and comforting. A CASSEROLE….it’s the perfect food for a dreary day like this. After scanning the fridge and the cupboards, I have a plan and that plan is Chicken Tetrazzini.  Easy to make and really tasty, it will fill the Bill (meaning my dear hubby, Bill) and have some left to freeze for another meal. This recipe works well with leftover turkey so I always make it after Thanksgiving to use up the copious amounts of turkey left from the holiday.

  • Prep Time: 20 mins
  • Cook Time: 50 mins
  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 mins
  • Yield: 6 1x
  • Category: Casserole
  • Cuisine: American - Italian

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 – 12 oz.) egg noodles
  • 1 stick butter
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 2 c. chicken stock
  • 3/4 tsp. celery salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • 1 6 oz. can sliced mushrooms
  • 3 tbs. finely chopped Italian parsley
  • 2 c. chicken meat, cut into 1” pieces
  • 3/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package. Drain and set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a saute pan, add flour while stirring with a whisk to make a roux.
  3. Add stock and celery salt, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat while stirring constantly to thicken sauce.
  4. Remove sauce from heat and add cream while stirring slowly.
  5. Add mushrooms, and parsley. Stir to blend these in.
  6. Grease a 3 qt. casserole dish.
  7. Starting with a layer of noodles, then chicken, and then mushroom sauce, alternate layers till ingredients are used up.
  8. Top with the grated cheese. Be sure to use freshly grated cheese and not packaged grated parm which resembles sawdust. It makes a lot of difference!

    My Mam was the best cook and hee receipt was close to all these. We would bake the chicken then make a roué but we used canned milk then added a hunch of velvet a cheese and a can of mushroom soup .. We all loved the taste!
