This creamy & flavorful dish is a winner in our house!

As I was watching the one-two punch of “Fire Country” (the writing this season is atrocious) and “Blue Bloods” (we will miss Treat Williams) last evening, I thought about features on Moteventure.com that I oftentimes forget about and need to highlight and/or post to on a more regular basis.

One of those features that I love (particularly when I’m feeling hungry) is “A Moteventure Cookbook”, which is simply a page of recipes I’ve featured on the site occasionally. Because I’m definitely not a gourmet cook (there was a time I was challenged to make Macaroni & Cheese out of a box), I tend to gravitate to recipes that are simple to create and yet still taste amazing. The recipe for Chicken Tetrazzini I’ll be sharing today is definitely in the simple yet tasty category.

So, without further ado, here’s the recipe I’ve made a number of times and it’s always so good. Plus, if you double it, you can freeze half of it for a quick meal after a hard day at work. Simply let it defrost and then place it in the microwave for a few minutes covered by a wet paper towel to keep it moist.

CHICKEN TETRAZZINI

INGREDIENTS:

• 16 oz. box of spaghetti
• 2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
• 1-1/4 cup chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
• 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (although I’m not a mushroom fan, this makes it SOOO good)
• 4 cups of grated mozzerella cheese
• 1 can of milk (use the mushroom soup can)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a skillet, brown the chicken until fully cooked and then dice it and set aside.
3. Boil spaghetti until al dente, drain and set aside.
4. Sauté onions and butter until browned.
5. Combine chicken and onions in the skillet and thoroughly blend.
6. Add cooked spaghetti, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and cheese and blend well.
7. Transfer to a 9×13 baking pan (I use a glass pan with great results).
8. Bake for 30-40 minutes uncovered.
9. Remove and let set up for 10 minutes before serving.
