    Chicken-tetrazzini

    Ingredients

    While I'm not usually a big fan of recipes calling for condensed cream soups, this tetrazzini recipe in an exception.

    • butter
    • poultry seasoning
    • celery salt
    • Cream of Chicken soup
    • cooked spaghetti noodles
    • chicken, cooked and cubed 
    • Evaporated milk 
    • dried onion or fresh chopped onion 
    • shredded cheddar cheese
    • shredded parmesan cheese

    Instructions

    1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Spaghetti noodles work the best, but if you don't have them, you can use any other kind.
    2. While the noodles are cooking, mix the cream soup and milk together in a medium bowl. Stir in spices, onions, and cooked chicken.
    3. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by spraying the sides with cooking spray. Put noodles in first. Then pour melted butter on top of the noodles. Finally pour the sauce and chicken on top of the butter. Do not stir.
    4. Cover with cheddar and parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degree F for 30 minutes or place in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking. See freezer instructions below.

    Freezing instructions

    Easy chicken tetrazzini is a great freezer meal! Prepare the pasta casserole as directed. To freeze, make sure you use a freezer and oven safe container. Cover well and freeze for up to 1 month.

    To bake from frozen, add an additional 10 minutes to cook time. Check and continue cooking until the middle is heated through completely.

    Giving this meal to new moms or families

    If you plan to give away this Chicken Tetrazzini dish to a new mom, someone who just had surgery, or anyone else who needs a comfort meal, I suggest using a disposable 9x13 baking dish. 

    You don't want the person you are giving the meal have to worry about returning a dish! Find inexpensive 9x13 aluminum pans at the dollar store or on Amazon here. 

    Prepare the meal according to the recipe below. You can either take it from the oven, or drop it off and have the recipient bake it when they are ready.

    This comfort meal casserole dish pairs perfectly with bread, salad, fruit and a simple dessert. Here's our favorites that can be frozen as well!
