Chicken Tetrazzini Easy With Chicken Noodle Soup

If you're looking for something comforting, warm and easy to make, this Chicken Tetrazzini is the perfect fit. It's easy to make and will please the pickiest eaters.

My mom made this Chicken tetrazzini for us often growing up. She always added spinach to it, so that's how I learned to enjoy it, but you can make it without it as well. It's a great recipe for using leftover chicken or turkey and it's a simple dish that can be whipped up in less than thirty minutes!

Tetrazzini is an American pasta dish usually made with poultry (chicken or turkey), noodles, and a creamy sauce baked in a casserole dish.

How to Make Chicken Tetrazzini:

1. Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl.
2. Cook noodles according to package instructions.  If you want to add spinach, add it just as the noodles are finished cooking.  Close the lid and let it start to wilt.  Then pour all the ingredients in a colander to drain.
3. Toss together pasta, sauce, and chicken.
4. Pour mixture into a baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
5. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.

Want to make it healthier?

There are several things you could do to lighten up the calorie count and increase the fiber and protein in this recipe.  Here are a few ideas:

• Use whole wheat spaghetti.
• Substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream.  This is one of my favorite substitutions.  Greek yogurt is packed with protein, low in fat (I love Fage greek yogurt and it's fat free with 23g of protein per serving!), and it tastes JUST like sour cream.  Win, win, win.
• Make the cream of mushroom soup from scratch.
• Limit the cheese.  You can really cut down on the fat content by limiting how much cheese you add.
• Substitute turkey.  Turkey is slightly leaner than chicken, though both are thought of as leaner types of meat.

Serve with:

• Homemade Olive Garden Breadsticks
• Classic Wedge Salad
• Roasted Vegetables
