Ingredients
- 10 ounces egg noodles
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 2 ribs of celery, diced
- 10 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
- 10 oz. can cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 6 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.
- Shred the cooked chicken breasts or the rotisserie chicken with a fork.
- In a large bowl add the cooked pasta, the shredded chicken, and the following ingredients - diced onion, bell pepper, celery, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Gently mix everything together. Do not add the butter or cheese at this step.
- Next, add the butter to a 9x13-inch baking dish and place it in the preheated oven so the butter can melt. It should take approximately 3-4 minutes. Once the butter is melted, carefully remove the baking dish from the oven.
- Add the chicken tetrazzini mixture to the buttered baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake the casserole in the oven for 40 minutes. The sides will be bubbling at this point.
- Carefully remove the casserole dish from the oven and add the sharp cheddar cheese on top. Place the dish back in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Once done remove the chicken tetrazzini from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes, enjoy!
Notes
2 large chicken breasts is often what I use and ends up being plenty, but if you want a little more chicken, then cook 3 chicken breasts instead.
If you are using a 12 ounce bag of egg noodles, be sure to only use ⅔ of the bag (approximately 10 ounces). If you use the entire bag it will be too many noodles.
