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!

HEALTHY CHICKEN TETRAZZINI RECIPE
Healthy Chicken Tetrazzini Recipe. I don't think I've seen more beautiful words. Tender chicken, sweet peas, and savory mushrooms all twirled with noodles and smothered with a creamy, cheese-laced sauce. If that's not heaven, I don't know what it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Bring a large stock pot filled with water to a rolling boil. Add a generous handful of salt. It should taste almost as salty as the sea.
- Heat a large skillet with high sides (about two-three inches), to medium heat. Add one tablespoon of butter. Season chicken tenders generously with salt and pepepr on both sides. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken. Cook until seared on both sides and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, cool and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the remaining two tablespoons butter to the pan. Add mushrooms, stir and then cook without touching for 2-3 minutes until brown. Stir with a wooden spoon and cook a little bit more until the other side is brown, about 1-2 minutes. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook until onion is soft and fragrant, another 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, stir and cook another minute.
- Stir in dry sherry. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in flour. Cook for one minute. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in WARM chicken stock, making sure there are no lumps. Slowly whisk in milk, and remaining salt along with freshly cracked black pepper. Return to the heat, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the sauce has simmered for a few minutes and has started to thicken, drop the pasta into the boiling water. Cook until just UNDER aldente. It should have a good bite to it. Drain.
- When the sauce has thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pasta, 1 cup of the shredded cheese and chopped chicken. Use tongs to combine everything together. Season to taste again with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to prepared baking dish. Cover with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake uncovered until hot, bubbly and the cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
