CHICKEN TETRAZZINI (CREAMY CHICKEN MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE)
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!!

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!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a pot and season with salt. Add the cauliflower, cover and steam until just tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain and cut into florets. Meanwhile, bring another pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles to just shy of al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain. Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender and browned. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Deglaze with the sherry, stirring and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, then stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper and a few grates of nutmeg. Combine the cauliflower, noodles, chicken and sauce. Transfer to a casserole dish. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in small pan, then drizzle over the panko in a bowl and toss to combine. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano and toss. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the casserole. Bake until hot, bubbling and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley. Divide among plates. Cook's Note: The unbaked casserole (without the breadcrumbs) can be covered and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal.
- Put the chicken in a very large stockpot or divide between 2 pots if necessary. Add the peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves, carrots, celery, lemons, onions and herb bundle and sprinkle with salt. Add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook at a rolling simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken from the liquid and let cool. Strain the stock. (You should have 5 to 6 quarts stock.) Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, and shred the meat using your hands or 2 forks.

CHICKEN TETRAZZINI CASSEROLE
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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will result in a better-tasting casserole. Look for organic, free-range chicken and high-quality mushrooms and vegetables.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it rest before shredding it.
- Use a good quality white wine: The wine will add flavor to the sauce, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, is a good option.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and chicken. If it is too thin, add a little more flour or cornstarch.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes Chicken Tetrazzini so delicious. Use a good quality Parmesan cheese and a flavorful cheddar cheese.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, will add a pop of color and flavor to the casserole.
Conclusion:
Creamy Chicken Tetrazzini is a delicious and comforting casserole that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a Chicken Tetrazzini that is sure to impress your family and friends.
