Comfort Chicken Tetrazzini image

This is the most amazing chicken casserole dish I have ever tried. I promise you will not regret making this. Don't omit the sherry, it's the ingredient that really makes it distinctive and delicious. I made several changes to a Turkey Tetrazzini recipe I found in a Boar's Head booklet and this is the result.
