Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Tbsp butter (divided)
1 lb chicken thigh filets (cut in bite-size pieces)
1 tsp paprika powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
½ lb dry penne pasta (uncooked)
½ lb broccoli (cut in bite-sized pieces, stem peeled and chopped)
2 garlic cloves (peeled and crushed, but in one piece)
2 Tbsp chopped parsley (fresh or frozen)
1 cup shredded cheese (divided)
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (divided)
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C)
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, add in the chicken pieces. Season with paprika powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and mix well to spread out the seasonings. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, until the chicken has nice color. It does not have to be cooked all the way through at this stage as it will finish cooking in the oven.
  • Bring out a casserole dish that measures about 8x10 inches (20x25 cm). Grease with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • Place the uncooked pasta in the greased casserole dish. Follow with the cooked chicken, including any leftover fat from frying. Then add chopped broccoli, garlic cloves, parsley and half of both the shredded neutral cheese and the shredded parmesan. Mix as well as possible.
  • Pour over the cream and the milk, and top with the remaining cheese. Make sure all pieces of pasta are completely submerged.
  • Place in middle of the oven and cook for about 1 hour, until the pasta is cooked through. Check often toward the end, and cover with aluminium foil if it starts to get too much color. Then bring out, and let sit at least 10 minutes before serving.

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!!

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!

PASTA BRAVO: CREAMY CHICKEN PASTA BAKE



Pasta Bravo: Creamy Chicken Pasta Bake image

This is a recipe that I created to mimic an old favorite of mine at Pasta Bravo. A great combination of penne (or rigatoni, spirals) tomato, cheeses all baked to perfection...creamy on the inside with a crispy outside crust. This goes together really quickly, cooks in under 30 minutes and is totally company worthy. Delicious served with a salad and some bread sticks or baguette. Easily adaptable for a yummy veggie-pasta bake too!

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
16 ounces penne pasta (or substitute similar pasta of your choice)
15 ounces ricotta cheese (I use part skim)
26 ounces pasta sauce (use your favorite. I love Vodka Sauce with this recipe)
2 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped (I usually use rotisserie from store for convenience, unless I've planned ahead)
2 cups mozzarella cheese (or blend ( wonderful with the pre-shredded Italian Mix with Mozzerella, fontina, romano, parmesan, a)
3 ounces black olives, sliced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (preferably fresh grated, not canned)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (fresh are perfect, but canned are fine)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Saute chopped onions, peppers and garlic in olive oil, about 5 minutes over medium heat. Add mushrooms and continue to saute until mushrooms begin to soften, about 4 minutes more.
  • While the veggies are cooking, put pasta in a large pot of boiling water and cook until al dente. (still firm to the bite) WARNING: They will continue to cook and absorb the sauce in the oven, so do not overcook here. The package directions should give instructions for al dente cooking times, but for my penne, it's usually about 9 minutes. When they are finished, drain well and return to pan. Mix in ricotta and mozzerella cheeses.
  • When the veggies are softened, add the pasta sauce and stir well. Add the chicken and black olives.
  • Hopefully you really used a Large Pot for your pasta, because I find it easiest to mix everything in there before assembling. Add pasta/chicken mix to pasta/cheese mix and stir gently until well blended.
  • Pour all into shallow backing dish (a 9x13 will work, I use a similar sized oval baking dish). By keeping it shallow, you'll be sure to get a nice crust.
  • Sprinkle bread crumbs over top, followed by parmesan. I like to spray a little cooking spray on it to help give nice browning. (You could pour a little melted butter, but the Pam does the trick and saves calories to enjoy for the pasta!).
  • Place in preheated oven and bake, uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until bubbling and browned on top.
  • Let it sit a few minutes before serving (to allow the cheeses to firm a little and because it is TOO HOT to eat just out of the oven.
  • Enjoy!
