| Easy Chicken Tetrazzini |
Tonight for dinner we had Chicken Tetrazzini made in a Crock Pot from a recipe I found in
Better Homes and Gardens magazine. It was super easy to make and it tasted like I spent hours cooking over a hot stove. Chicken and canned mushrooms are placed in the crock pot. In a bowl, you mix together a jar of your favorite Alfredo sauce, chicken broth, sherry, ground nutmeg, and black pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms, stir, cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Before you serve you stir some Parmesan cheese into the chicken mixture. Serve over spaghetti. The original recipe suggests to garnish the dish with thinly sliced green onions. I knew I would not be able to get the kids and spouse to eat it with green onions, so I garnished the dish with some fresh chives. The family loved this dish. Rich and creamy goodness with a delicious cheesy flavor spooned over spaghetti. Delicious. I was hoping to have some leftovers for my lunch, but my family ate it all.
