How Do You Make Chicken Tetrazzini?

Making chicken tetrazzini casserole is simple. I love being able prep it in the morning or the night before so that when it’s time to eat, I can pop it in the oven, and dinner is served.

Vegetables: You can leave out the peas or the mushrooms or both. You could also add other veggie like onions, broccoli, bell pepper, potatoes or any of your favorite veggies. Protein: This is a great casserole to make with leftover turkey. Replace the chicken with your leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. You could also use ham, pork, beef, or sausage. Condesned soup: You can replace the cream of chicken with cream of mushroom soup cans. You can also replace the condensed soup and use my homemade cream of chicken soup.

Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover the dish with foil, place it directly into the preheated oven from the freezer, and bake for 50-60 minutes until the dish is heated completely through. Remove the foil in the last 10 minutes of baking.

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat: Warm individual servings in a microwave-safe dish for 30-seconds at a time until heated through.
