Easy Chicken Tetrazzini Recipe

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the sauce:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir in the garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
  • Add the shredded chicken, frozen peas (if using), and chopped onions (if using) to the mixture. Stir to combine.

3. Combine with pasta:

  • Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce mixture and toss gently to coat the pasta and chicken evenly with the sauce.

4. Assemble the casserole:

  • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Transfer the pasta and chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. If you like a crunchy topping, you can sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese.

5. Bake:

  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown.

6. Serve:

  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
