CHICKEN TETRAZZINI CASSEROLE



Chicken Tetrazzini Casserole image

I picked up a copy of Southern Living's Comfort Foods Recipe magazine at the grocery store. I decided to try their Chicken Tetrazzini. I haven't had this since I was a kid and forgot all about it! This recipe makes 2 casseroles. One to prepare immediately and one to freeze for later! After serving to my family I asked the BIG question...."Should I make this again sometime?" I received two overwhelming YES's from my kids, and one "yeah, ok" from my husband. I'd say that this recipe is a keeper! I served it with fresh bakery bread.

A HOMEMADE SAN FRANCISCO TREAT: CHICKEN VERMICELLI RICE



A Homemade San Francisco Treat: Chicken Vermicelli Rice image

Years ago, I came up with my clone of a dish my children really enjoyed. I wanted to use the freshest ingredients that I usually have on hand. Many years later, I find myself still making it. If serving a beef dish, substitute chicken bouillon with beef bouillon. Angel hair pasta can be broken into small pieces in place of vermicelli.

CHICKEN VERMICELLI



Chicken Vermicelli image

This recipe comes from Holly Clegg's Trim and Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals. This actually turned out to be a much lighter version of a family favorite that used a whole stick of butter! Comfort type food that can be made ahead for a quick meal! You can use leftover chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken from your local deli. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup roasted red peppers which we omitted for family preference. Mushrooms would be a nice addition!

LUCKY'S CHICKEN ROASTED WITH VERMICELLI AND GARLIC



Lucky's Chicken Roasted With Vermicelli And Garlic image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     dinner, pastas, roasts, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup water
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup virgin olive oil, plus oil for brushing the chicken
1/4 cup minced fresh garlic
1 pound fresh egg vermicell (see note)
3 roasting chickens, each weighing 2 to 3 pounds, halved
Freshly ground black pepper, as desired

Steps:

  • Add one teaspoon of the salt to the cup of water and set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the half-cup of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic to the warm oil and saute very gently until the garlic starts to brown. Watch carefully, because the minced garlic can quickly turn from "starting to brown" to burned - and the acrid taste and flavor of burned garlic is undesirable. As soon as the garlic starts to brown, add the salted water and cook over medium heat until almost all the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Bring a pot of water large enough to contain the egg vermicelli to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pasta. Cook for just 30 seconds. Drain immediately and refresh the pasta under cold running water. Drain well and combine the pasta with the garlic mixture.
  • Divide the vermicelli into six equal mounds in a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate all the chicken halves. Brush the chicken halves with virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place a chicken half on top of each mound of vermicelli and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the edges of the vermicelli are browned and crispy. If vermicelli does not brown sufficiently on the edges, remove the excess chicken fat from the roasting pan and place the pan under a preheated broiler for one to three minutes to brown.
  • With a slotted spatula, lift each chicken half with its vermicelli onto a heated serving dish. Serve immediately.
