This is my take on one of our family's favorite recipes - Chicken Tetrazzini. My Grandmother and Mom would always make this the night before Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am not a big fan of turkey, so they would make this so I would have leftovers at the holiday feast. I absolutely love this dish. This is one of those dishes that I could eat myself sick on - doesn't everybody have one of those?
This is so simple, but it is seriously delicious. To cut down on prep time, I use a whole rotisserie chicken. You can assemble this the night before and just pop it in the oven when you are ready. This also makes great leftovers and freezes well - which is good because this makes a ton! Chicken Legs' favorite part of the dish is the browned parmesan cheese crust on top.
(Printable Recipe)
1 whole rotisserie chicken
16 oz vermicelli pasta, cooked according to package directions
32 oz chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350.
Remove meat from the chicken and chop.
Whisk together soups, chicken broth, and garlic powder.
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Layer 1/2 vermicelli, 1/2 chicken, and 1/2 of soup mixture. Sprinkle half of the parmesan cheese on the pasta. Repeat layers and top with remaining parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours.

Yum!! I love chicken Tetrazzini. One of my favorite dishes!!
I'm assuming you boil the pasta first?
Do you boil the pasta first? Thanks!
YUM, I made the potato casserole last night for dinner! Thanks for sharing all of these YUMMY recipes! My Husband is loving them too:O) Have a blessed day, HUGS!
That is one of those old faithful recipes!
@Laurie & doublegranny - Yes. 16oz vermicelli, cooked according to pkg directions.
If you didn't use a rotisserie chicken, how many chicken breasts would you use?
Shelly - it depends on the size - I would use 2 pounds of chicken breasts. So, 3 or 4 depending on the size.
Is it really 90 minutes of cook time? I'm still willing to give it a whirl because this sounds DELICIOUS!!
Mrs.O'C - I do cook it for 90 minutes. It is worth it - this is really delicious!
Would ANY other noodle work for this? Like egg noodles?
Yum!! I made this for dinner last night and it was a hit. Super easy to put together with things from the pantry, but had that loving, comfort food quality. For the leftovers tonight I sauteed some walnuts in butter and put those on before I reheated it in the oven. It was wonderful! Thank you!
This is similar to a family favorite here. Can't wait to try your version. Also wanted to let you know you have your own board on my Pinterest because I love your recipes so much! Thanks for sharing!
made this tonight - really delicious! i was impressed that it wasn't as high calorie as i thought when i put it into recipe calculator. thanks for a great recipe! next time i might try adding in veggies to make this a full meal casserole... has anyone else done that?
I've never had chicken tetrazzini before, but this sounds amazing.
Cooper absolutely loved it: "Mom, this is really good!" You have no idea how rare that comment is in our house. He even wanted to taked leftovers in his lunch today.
Seriously... It says pasta: COOKED ACCORDING TO PACKAGE... Why ask if u are supposed to boil it first?

Haley - this would make at least 8 servings
