Best Chicken Tetrazzini image

This is the number one most requested dish at my house. Even my picky pre-teen daughters love this. Legend has it that this dish is named after a nineteenth century opera singer, Luisa Tetrazzini. This dish MUST be made a day in advance.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce curdled and the chicken was overcooked.

I made this recipe for my family and they didn't like it. The sauce was too rich and the chicken was dry.

This recipe was way too salty for my taste. I had to cut the amount of salt in half.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get the sauce to thicken. Any tips?

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra seasonings and it was much better.
