CHICKEN TETRAZINNI


CHICKEN TETRAZINNI

 

PREHEAT oven to 350°F
Cook a la dente:
1¾ cups tortiglioni pasta (2 cups cooked)
Cut in cubes:
1 cup chicken, cooked
Slice or quarter, and sauté in butter:
 
1 cup mushrooms
Combine all of the above ingredients in a casserole; lift the mushrooms from the skillet, reserving the butter for the sauce.
SAUCE:
Add to skillet if necessary for:
 
2 tbsp butter, melted
Stir in:
2 tbsp flour
¼ to ½ tsp salt
¼ to ½ tsp Tabasco sauce
Add slowly, stirring constantly:
 
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
Continue stirring over medium heat and remove from heat when sauce reaches boiling point.
Stir in:
2 tbsp sherry
Pour sauce over pasta, chicken and mushrooms (stir if necessary).
TOPPING:
Combine well together, and sprinkle over top:
 
½ cup parmesan cheese
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
1 to 2 tbsp of vegetable salad seasonings
BAKE 20 to 30 minutes until sauce is bubbly and topping is toasted.
 
 
FoodNotes:
1. Very rich sauce. Serve with vegetable salad with light dressing, or with crudités.
2. Divide the ingredients among four individual casserole dishes - bake approximately 10 minutes or less.
3. Prepare in advance and refrigerate, but do not sprinkle topping on until bake time. Add an extra 25% to bake time.
