Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

9 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 pound white mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature
1 cup chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 ounces linguine
3/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup dried Italian-style breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a deep large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook until pale golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Coarsely shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and into a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 12 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme, and saute until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the chicken.
  • Melt 3 more tablespoons butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cream, broth, nutmeg, remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Drain. Add the linguine, sauce, peas, and parsley to the chicken mixture. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta and the mixture is well blended.
  • Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Stir the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the pasta. Dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top and the sauce bubbles, about 25 minutes.

CHICKEN TETRAZZINI (CREAMY CHICKEN MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE)



Chicken Tetrazzini (creamy chicken mushroom pasta bake) image

Recipe video above. A big, creamy pasta bake with juicy chicken and mushrooms. Cheesy, hot and completely delicioius! Rumoured to be named after an Italian opera star Luisa Tetrazzini when an American Chef created this dish for her. So it's not authentic Italian - but it doesn't make this any less delicious!!

Categories     Mains

Number Of Ingredients 14

500g / 1lb spaghetti or other long pasta, cooked per packet ((penne, macaroni, ziti ok too) (Note 1))
2 tbsp (30g) butter
500g / 1lb chicken thighs (, skinless boneless (Note 2))
4 tbsp (60g) butter (, unsalted)
500g / 1lb mushrooms (, sliced 1/2 cm / 1/5" thick)
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 onion (, finely chopped)
4 tbsp flour
2 cups milk (, any fat, any type)
1 cup cream (, heavy / thickened (sub more milk))
2 cups chicken stock/broth (, low sodium (or water + 2 stock cubes))
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
2 cups cheese (, shredded (cheddar, jack, colby - not mozz))

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large pot over high heat. Add chicken, sprinkle with pinch of salt and pepper. Cook 1 1/2 minutes until golden.
  • Turn chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute until golden then remove onto plate - doesn't need to be fully cooked (will cook more in oven).
  • Rest 5 minutes, then chop into small pieces, or shred.
  • Preheat oven to 160°C / 325°F.
  • Cook mushrooms: Melt 4 tbsp butter over high heat in the same pot. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes until starting to go floppy but not yet golden.
  • Add onion: Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 minutes until mushrooms are golden. Add a pinch of salt and pepper halfway through.
  • Add flour & milk: Turn heat down to medium. Add flour. Stir for 30 seconds. Add milk and stir for 10 seconds or until it thickens (see video at 52 sec).
  • Add cream and broth: Add chicken stock, cream, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Stir, then let the mixture heat up, stirring every now and then so it doesn't catch on the base, and cook until the sauce thickens enough so you can draw a path on the back of the spoon (video at 1.04). Do not make it very thick - it gets thicker in next steps.
  • Add cheese & pasta: Turn stove off. Stir through half the cheese (will melt in oven), then add pasta and chicken. Toss to mix, taste and add more salt if needed.
  • Bake: Pour into 23 x 33cm / 9 x 13" pan, smooth surface. Top with remaining cheese. Bake 25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve immediately!

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

12 ounces egg noodles or 12 ounces spaghetti, linguini, any other pasta
12 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (about 4-5 cups)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup cream
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup dry sherry (or vermouth or dry white wine)
3 cups chicken, cooked and coarsely chopped
1 cup frozen peas
2/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated (divided into 1/3 and 1/3 cups)
1/3 cup swiss cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup fine soft bread crumbs (if using bread crumbs make sure they are fresh and chopped to a fine texture) or 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (if using bread crumbs make sure they are fresh and chopped to a fine texture)
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley (for garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Start heating 2 to 3 quarts of water for the pasta. Add 1 tsp of salt for each quart of water.
  • Cook the mushrooms in 3 Tbsp of the butter over medium heat, stirring until all of the liquid the mushrooms give off has evaporated, 5-10 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large, heavy saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Stir in the flour, and cook the mixture over low heat, stirring, for 3 minutes.
  • About now, put the pasta into the boiling water you've heated. Follow the package directions and cook until al dente. While the pasta is cooking continue on with the recipe.
  • In a saucepan add the butter and flour, and slowly whisk in the milk, cream, broth, and the sherry. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • When the pasta is ready, drain it. In a large bowel combine the pasta, the sauce, the mushrooms, the turkey, and the peas. Stir in 1/3 cup of the Parmesan and the 1/3 cup of Swiss cheese. Stir in the lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Note that if you have been using unsalted butter, and/or unsalted or low sodium stock, you will need to add more salt than you might expect. Just keep sprinkling it in until it i seasoned to your taste. Add a pinch of ground nutmeg if using, again to taste. Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-quart casserole (or if you increase the serving size, use the appropriate size dish).
  • In a small bowl combine well the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and the bread crumps. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the tetrazzini and dot the top with the remaining 1 Tbsp butter, cut into bits. Use more butter, if needed to cover the casserole with butter with about a bits every 3 inches.
  • Bake the Tetrazzini in the middle rack of the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is bubbling and the top is golden. If top is browning too quickly, you can cover with foil.
  • Garnish individual servings with chopped parsley.
