Pin This RecipeThis recipe is from Plain Chicken reader, Jennifer Colson. She calls the recipe chicken tetrazzini. I already have a couple of tetrazzini recipes, so I call this Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole. We thought this was great. It makes a ton. This would be a great potluck dish. You can make this casserole of time and freeze or refrigerate for later.
I suggest dividing this into two 9-inch pans and freezing one of them for later. Each pan would serve about 5 or 6 people. This is good reheated for lunch or dinner the next day. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us Jennifer!
Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups cooked chopped chicken (1 whole rotisserie chicken)

- 1½ to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

- Combine first 12 ingredients. Spread into a lightly greased 9×13-inch dish (or 2 9×9-inch dishes). Top with cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, until bubbly.

Looking forward to making this. Quick question…….is the parmesan cheese the grated kind out of the green container or do you use shredded parmesan in this recipe?
Either is just fine. I use freshly grated parmesan off the block.
