The BEST Make Ahead Chicken Tetrazzini
New favorite alert!!! This Overnight Chicken Tetrazzini is on repeat in our house. It is SO good! We can not get enough of this easy chicken casserole. We LOVED all the flavors in this casserole. Creamy chicken pasta with parmesan cheese. It tastes just like my Grandmother's Chicken Tetrazzini recipe but without all the extra work of boiling the noodles. I love no-boil pasta casseroles like this! They are perfect for busy weeknights.
How to Make Chicken Tetrazzini
This Overnight Chicken Tetrazzini is very easy to make. Just mix the chicken, broth, milk, soups, seasonings and pasta together and pour in a lightly greased baking pan. Cover this dish and refrigerate overnight. It will be ready to bake the next day for lunch or dinner.I used rotisserie chicken in this Overnight Chicken Tetrazzini. It is my #1 time saver. We always have some pulled rotisserie chicken in the freezer for quick meal prep. It makes preparing casseroles like this a breeze!!
As I said, there is no need to cook the noodles ahead of time. They will absorb some of the liquid in the casserole dish as it sits overnight. They will finish cooking in the oven along with the rest of the casserole.
What Goes with Chicken Tetrazzini
Can I Freeze Leftover Chicken Tetrazzini?
Since there are only two of us, we had leftovers. The leftovers were equally delicious heated up. You can freeze the leftover casserole for a quick meal later. I freeze this casserole after I have baked it. When you are ready to eat the leftover casserole, just thaw and either cover and bake in the oven or microwave the dish to reheat the Chicken Tetrazzini.We’ve made this several times over the past few months and just can’t seem to get enough of it. Add it to your menu ASAP! I promise it will be a hit!!
