World's Best Chicken Tetrazzini

When I need a dinner that I know that everyone will love, I whip up this easy chicken tetrazzini. It's creamy, filling and perfect for leftovers. And, I must say, this is a great dish to bring to someone who needs help as it can be made ahead, stuck in the fridge and cooked within a couple days or so.

My family loves chicken pasta casserole dishes historically, so I know that I simply can't go wrong with a tetrazzini.

Can I make this a Turkey Tetrazzini instead?

Yes! The great thing is that you could easily sub the chicken out for turkey and have a turkey tetrazzini easy enough as well (Thanksgiving leftover ideas, I'm looking at you!) This spaghetti tetrazzini recipe is so versatile!

Is this Chicken Pasta Casserole easy?

Absolutely! This recipe starts off with shredded chicken. If you haven't caved yet, I can't recommend the Instant Pot enough for being the hugest helper in the kitchen. I make shredded chicken in my Instant Pot atleast once a week, if not more. I also make mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot and Mexican shredded chicken for tacos, nachos, quesadillas and more.

Once your chicken is shredded (see the crockpot version of shredded chicken here, just sub chicken broth for Rotel) it's literally a dump and go recipe, ingredients and directions to follow, but I wanted to mention one more thing.

Can this Chicken Casserole recipe be split into two meals?

100% Yes – This recipe is perfect for splitting up. I was taking dinner to my parents on the night that I made this and it was the perfect amount split into two different dishes. I recommend either putting the entire mixture into a 9×13 casserole dish, or use two 8×8 casserole dishes and have two separate meals. Serve with a green salad and Hawaiian Rolls (YUM!)

OK, here's how to whip this chicken tetrazzini with Campbell's soup up!

Gather your creamy chicken tetrazzini recipe ingredients:

16 oz thin spaghetti, cooked al dente (about 1 minute less than the cooking time states on the box) & rinsed with cold water
½ cup butter (plus more for buttering pan)
4 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cups sour cream
½ cup milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 T parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ -1 cup Panko bread crumbs

Next, you'll assemble the chicken tetrazzini cream of chicken soup casserole. It's seriously so weeknight easy one dish dinner that it's sinful – because it will take no time at all and everyone will love it!

Combine butter, cooked & shredded chicken, soup, sour cream, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese and milk. Give that a good stir and add in the rinsed cooked noodles.

Pour into a sprayed/greased 13×9 casserole dish. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheeses on top.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, add panko bread crumbs on top and bake ten minutes more.

And, If you'd rather (or you already have on hand) this could certainly be a recipe for chicken tetrazzini with penne pasta or a fettuccine tetrazzini as well!

Some of my readers like dinners for two. You could easily make this a chicken tetrazzini for two by cutting the ingredients in half, or making two casserole dishes worth and freezing one to the and cook later. Easy peasy and two dinners at one time!

    I assume the panko goes on top of the mixture.
