Welcome Home, Honey! I made one of your favorites!

It's a cold and foggy day in Raleigh, NC. My husband, Mike, is on his way home from a business trip. I think I'll surprise him with one of his favorites. I haven't made this in a while. Seems like a Chicken Tetrazzini kind of day! Try it and tell me what you think!



Recipe for Chicken Tetrazzini


1/4 c. butter

1/4 c. all-purpose unbleached flour

2 c. cooked chicken, cut up

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1 c. low-sodium chicken broth

1.5 c. milk

2 tbsp. sherry

1/2 lb. pasta, cooked and drained

A handful of grated Parmesan cheese

1 c. frozen peas


In a family skillet, melt butter. Add flour; cook for 1 minute, stirring with a whisk. Add chicken broth, milk and sherry. Stir until thickened. Add chicken, pasta, and peas. Season with salt and pepper. Stir up and enjoy!

Some folks like to put it in a casserole dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs and more cheese and dabs of butter and broil for a minute, but I like it right out of the skillet. It's nice and creamy, the peas are sweet, and it is much healthier for you!
