Chicken Tetrazzini - a family favorite main dish/dinner recipe from www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

One of my very favorites from my childhood, this Chicken Tetrazzini is the perfect comfort food.  Made with a basic roux, you can use it as a base for almost any meal.  Chicken Tetrazzini - a family favorite main dish/dinner recipe

Chicken Tetrazzini

This dinner recipe is so simple because you can use whatever you have on hand and add to it what you want.  It’s a base for any main dish.  And it’s the perfect dish to make after Thanksgiving with all that leftover turkey.  I’ve had this recipe since I was in college- it was one of my favorites that my Mom made for us growing up.

How to make chicken tetrazzini

In the recipe I mention that I rarely use actual turkey.  Thanksgiving leftovers give me a great excuse to use turkey, but normally I just use chicken.  I rarely use “tetrazzini” noodles… so really, the name could change depending on what you have.  I normally would call it Chicken Spaghetti because I use chicken and spaghetti noodles a ton.

Mmmm… one of the things I love about this one too is that you can make it ahead.  You can use leftover chicken, spaghetti noodles and throw it all together.  I’ve made a few at once to give to friends who need a little pick me up.
