Chicken Tetrazzini
Chicken tetrazzini is a classic, warm and comforting casserole that is perfect for a dinner party or a family meal - Italian casserole with chicken, mushrooms, creamy white wine sauce and parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dry linguine pasta cooked to package instructions and drained (half a 1 pound package)
- 1 eight ounce pack sliced crimini (baby portabella) mushrooms
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 3 1/2 Tablespoons butter
- 3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken stock or broth
- 1 cup milk any type (I used 2%)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (may vary, based on saltiness of your butter, broth, parmesan)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese divided
- 1 pound chicken thighs or breasts cooked and shredded or cut into bite-sized pieces (I used my Instant pot shredded chicken. I have also used store-bought rotisserie chicken.)
- cooking spray
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
-
Add some cooking spray to a large non-stick pan or dutch oven, and preheat over medium heat.
-
Add onions and sliced mushrooms to the pan, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low, and add the garlic, and cook another minute.
-
Add the butter to the pan (leave the mushrooms, garlic and onions in there), and let it melt.
-
Sprinkle the flour, and stir to incorporate (about 30 seconds).
-
Add the wine, and deglaze the pan using a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits and mix in flour.
-
Add chicken stock, milk salt and pepper, and stir to incorporate.
-
Bring to a simmer and stir often (almost continuously) to avoid scorching. The sauce will thicken pretty quickly, after a minute or 2.
-
Turn off the stove, remove from heat, and add the cup of parmesan cheese, stirring to incorporate.
-
Toss the sauce with the cooked shredded chicken and cooked/ drained linguini pasta.
-
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish, sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Sprinkle extra 1/2 cup parmesan cheese on top, and bake at 375 until cheese is melted, about 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Remove from oven, and let sit 5 minutes or so. Serve and enjoy!
