I used store-bought cooked, rotisserie white chicken meat to speed up the process. You could poach a few chicken breasts, cool and chop instead. We have also made this dish many times with leftover turkey and homemade turkey stock after Thanksgiving. Recipe 1 LB fettuccini, cooked 3/4's of the way. 1 1/2 lbs. cooked, chopped chicken meat 2 boxes of chicken stock (or 8 cups of homemade) 1 stick butter 1/2 cup AP flour 1 LB white button mushrooms, sliced 1 TB olive oil 1/2 cup good dry Marsala wine 1 medium onion chopped 1 cup frozen peas, thawed 3 sprigs fresh thyme Fresh ground nutmeg Black papper & red pepper flakes Kosher salt 2 cups grated Parmesan Cheese 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Make the Sauce Melt butter in a sauce pan. Add onion and cook until softened. Add most of the flour (you can add more if needed) and stir until a thick paste forms. Let it cook until slightly brown and foamy. Slowly add 4 cups (1 box) of stock, stirring to velvety consistency. Add salt, peppers, thyme, and nutmeg. Add the peas and stir. Simmer on medium low heat. Sautee the mushrooms in the oil in a separate pan until brown and caramelized. Put the chicken meat and the mushrooms in the sauce and heat all the way through. Add 1 cup parmesan cheese and mix in. Assemble: Put the cooled pasta in a large, oven-safe casserole baking dish. Pour the chicken sauce over the pasta and mix well. Sprinkle a layer of the remaining parm cheese on top and finally sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the cheese. Bake for 40 minutes or until bubbly and browned on top. Serve with a salad, and a good bottle of Pinot Grigio. Chicken Tetrazzini is fabulous as a leftover. A bowl of this saucy goodness can be reheated in the microwave, and is better the next day.
