Quick and Easy Chicken Tetrazzini

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick and Easy Chicken Tetrazzini.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a 13x9-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

3. Step 3

   Next, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.

4. Step 4

   Once it’s bubbling, toss in the rotini pasta and cook it for about 8 minutes, or until it’s tender but still has a nice bite to it.

5. Step 5

   After draining the pasta, gently transfer it into your prepared baking dish, setting the stage for a delightful meal.

6. Step 6

   Now, let’s create a flavorful sauce! In a heavy saucepan, melt some butter over medium heat.

7. Step 7

   Add in the chopped onions, celery, and vibrant red bell pepper, stirring them together until they soften, which should take about 5 minutes.

8. Step 8

   This is where the magic begins! Stir in the milk, cream of mushroom soup, poultry seasoning, salt, and a dash of black pepper, allowing the mixture to simmer on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once your sauce is bubbling gently, it’s time to add the star of the show: the chopped rotisserie chicken.

10. Step 10

    Toss in half a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese for that creamy goodness, then remove the saucepan from the heat.

11. Step 11

    Pour this luscious mixture over the rotini in your baking dish, making sure every piece of pasta gets a taste of that savory sauce.

12. Step 12

    To finish it off, sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese on top, creating a cheesy blanket that will melt beautifully in the oven.

13. Step 13

    Slide your baking dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes.

14. Step 14

    Keep an eye on it as the cheese melts and starts to turn a lovely golden brown.

15. Step 15

    The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a few moments before serving.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy this comforting dish that’s perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in!.
