This chicken tetrazzini is so simple to make and is a great way to transform leftover chicken or turkey.  Our broth, combined with half and half, makes a rich and savory base to envelope the chicken and veggies.  Everything cooks in the same skillet so clean up’s a breeze.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup half and half or heavy cream
  • 1 3/4 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth or Chicken Stock
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 4 cups cooked thin spaghetti (from about 8 ounces dry) (to save time, prep the rest of the ingredients while the spaghetti cooks)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Tips

    • Can I use my leftover turkey from Thanksgiving? YES!  Substitute turkey for the chicken (light or dark meat, they both work great).
  • Step 1

    Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.  Add the onion, mushrooms, celery and carrot and cook until the vegetables are tender.  Add the garlic and cook and stir for 1 minute.  Remove the skillet from the heat.

  • Step 2

    Heat the butter in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.  Stir in the flour.  Gradually stir in the half-and-half and broth.  Cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens.

  • Step 3

    Stir in the sherry and parsley.  Add the chicken, onion mixture, peas, spaghetti and cheese and toss to coat.  Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

  • Step 4

    Heat the broiler.  Broil 4 inches from the heat until the chicken mixture is hot and bubbling and the top is browned.
