Chicken Tetrazzini

Submitted by: JustRightMenus

Description:

This is a great recipe to make ahead and freeze. I made & froze several batches in preparation for the birth of our daughter. That made life with a newborn much easier!

If you have leftover roast chicken, this is a great use for it, too.

In a skillet, cook mushrooms in butter until tender.

Stir in flour; gradualy add the chicken broth.

Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce comes to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in cream, parsley, salt, nutmeg, pepper, and wine (or additional broth).

Fold in the chicken and spaghetti.

Turn in to a greased 12" x 8" x 2" baking dish. - - I actually use 2 bread pans, so I can freeze part of it.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes - or until heated through.
