This Cheesy Chicken Tetrazzini recipe is perfect for a fall evening. Made with fresh mushrooms, chicken and Parmesan cheese, it is a comforting classic casserole.

This recipe does not include any creamy condensed soup, so you can really control the sodium and cream. This is a perfect pantry dinner and is hearty and tasty.

Cheesy Chicken Tetrazinni

Hi Friends! Today's recipe is one of those old school recipes that I lighted up a bit. My grandmother used to make lots of wonderful casseroles with cream of chicken soup and they were wonderful.

In attempting to recreate some of the meals, I have tried to modify them a bit to reduce the amount of both fat and sodium. This is one of those recipes that took me a couple of times to get to where I was ready to share it.

I think you will find this chicken Tetrazzini recipe not only warm and hearty but wonderfully tasty too. I like to make it with fettuccine noodles, the can easily be substituted with spaghetti or linguine noodles if that is what you have in stock.

Warm up this season with this easy Chicken Tetrazzini recipe. Mushrooms, chicken and cheese, swirled in pasta.

There is just something about a baked casserole that is so comforting!

Time-saving Tip: Use a rotisserie chicken to save some time.

    Totally OT. This reminded me of a "The Soup" clip back in the day about chicken tetrazzini. Here's a clip I found off Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU2W-C8Mo30

    Anyway, sounds like an easy recipe to make! Yay for easy!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little.
