Easy Chicken Tetrazzini

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolio

I am such a sucker for creamy pasta recipes like this easy chicken tetrazzini.

It’s just the best comfort food there is.

My Mom used to make this for us growing up all the time.

There was nothing better than coming home from school on a cold day and finding out that chicken tetrazzini was for dinner.

It could warm me up and fill me up forever. This recipe really takes me back to my childhood.

Now I make this for my own family and they love it too.

It’s also such an easy recipe to throw together during those busy weekdays.

I know if you give this easy chicken tetrazzini a try that you will absolutely love it, too.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

What chicken can I use?

I love using rotisserie chicken for this recipe. They’re super convenient and just taste amazing.

If you’d like to use cooked chicken breast, or whatever cooked and cubed chicken you have absolutely use that.

Just be sure that it’s around 2 cups.

Do I really need to shred the cheese myself?

Yes, absolutely! 

This is the one thing that I’d really urge you not to take a shortcut on.

Pres-shredded bagged cheese has chemicals in it like cellulose. 

This keeps the cheese from clumping but it also prevents it from melting properly.

Shred the cheese off the block. This chicken tetrazzini will be much creamier.

Can the cream of mushroom soup be substituted?

I know some people just do not like mushrooms and that’s totally fine.

You can still make this recipe.

Either double up on the cream of chicken soup or try cream of broccoli.

They’re great swap outs.

What should I serve this easy chicken tetrazzini with?

The great thing about this recipe is that it can be eaten alone. You really don’t need to serve it with anything.

But if you do choose to serve this with something, I’d suggest a vegetable or a nice big table salad.

Here are a few easy recipes that would be great sides.

• The best marinated tomatoes
• Frozen roasted green beans
• Roasted garlic Parmesan broccoli
• Ranch butter corn
