Creamy Chicken Tetrazzini

9/7/17

Homemade Creamy Chicken Tetrazzini that can be made with leftover chicken, or store bought rotisserie chicken!

Make this creamy chicken Tetrazzini recipe with store-bought rotisserie chicken for a quick and budget-friendly meal!

My family, and I love chicken tetrazzini! Like seriously, I think we could eat it everyday.

Creamy cheese, tender pasta, and delicious chicken make this Tetrazzini recipe a perfect weeknight dinner

My recipe for chicken tetrazzini is super easy, because I take a huge shortcut. Whenever I make chicken tetrazzini, I usually use leftover chicken, or I use store bought rotisserie chicken! Those steps alone cut my cooking time in half!

The creamy homemade sauce makes this Chicken Tetrazzini so delicious!

This chicken tetrazzini can be made ahead of time. Also, even though I bake my tetrazzini, you can certainly cook your chicken tetrazzini in the CrockPot!

This creamy chicken tetrazzini can be made with leftover chicken to cut down on cooking time.

Simply check out the steps below, and when you get to step number 15, add the ingredients to slow cooker instead of a casserole dish. Instead of baking it for 35 minutes, cook it in the slow cooker on LOW for 2 hours!

Definitely try out this recipe, and be sure to check these dinner ideas out as well
