Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz linguini (or fettucini, spaghetti, bucatini, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened (for buttering the casserole dish)
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • Tetrazzini Sauce Base:
  • 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken condensed soup
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried parsley, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. Boil noodles to al dente according to the package instructions while you prepare the sauce base in your largest mixing bowl.

3. Combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk together until smooth.

4. Add half of the shredded cheeses, the rotisserie chicken, and the noodles and toss until the noodles are well coated and evenly combined.

5. Butter the bottom and sides of a casserole dish then turn out the pasta mixture into the casserole dish, distributing it evenly.

6. Top with handfuls of the remaining shredded cheese on top and dried parsley.

7. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

8. Serve hot with seasoning salt, red pepper flakes, dinner rolls, or something green like steamed broccoli or a salad.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy whisking into the sauce.

This dish can be prepped ahead and baked later—just cover and refrigerate before baking.

Great for using up leftover chicken if you don’t have a rotisserie one.
