30 Minute Chicken Tetrazzini Stew

Just like the casserole this bowl is filled with delicious creamy cheesiness. Unlike the casserole, this meal only takes 30 minutes!
Seriously this stew is so good you will literally be standing at the stove with a spoon! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! 😄
It’s really easy too – you’re going to love that part. Only 30 minutes to make to dinner deliciousness!

Grab a spoon you’re definitely going to want a bowl of 30 Minute Chicken Tetrazzini Stew!
So here’s how easy this is – you’ll start with using leftover rotisserie chicken, you’ll only need about 1 1/2 cups, chop the onions and slice/chop the mushrooms.
Melt butter & add olive oil. Saute the onions and mushrooms for about five minutes. Season with salt & pepper, add the minced garlic. Continue to saute for about a minute more.

Next sprinkle with flour. Stir and coat the vegetables until the flour is cooked, about a minute or so. Now it’s time to add the sherry. Stir it thru and scrape up all of the little bits on the bottom of the pan. When you’ve cooked out the wine, add the chicken stock. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring and you’ll see the mixture thickens.

Here’s an idea of what it will look like as you cook the stew. Adding the ingredients step-by-step layer in big flavor!
Add the pasta – about 1 1/2 cups of egg noodles, you’ll continue to stir it while it cooks to keep it from sticking. Cook the pasta according to the required cooking time on the package. When there is two minutes remaining to cook the pasta, add the cheese and half & half. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted, the cream is stirred thru and the pasta is cooked.
If you’re looking to add some extra veggies to your meal, add a cup of frozen peas or a couple handfuls of spinach at the very end. The greens add delicious flavor and texture.

The hardest part about making Chicken Tetrazzini Stew is not standing at the stove, eating it with a spoon!
Wa-la! Dinner is done!
The hardest part of this meal is not standing at the stove with a spoon dipping out all of this creamy pasta goodness. This is so creamy and amazing!

30 minutes and this big pot of Chicken Tetrazzini Stew will be ready to serve! Garnish with chopped chives (if desired). This makes eight generous servings and will also freeze well. I always remove a couple servings and tuck them into the fridge before our first meal because that way on those days I do not want to cook, dinner is already done!

Melissa @ Insider The Kitchen says
Um, yum!!! this came out perfect … I was a bit worried because of how many steps there are, but it was worth the effort. I reduced the amount of mushrooms and Parmesan cheese by about half (didn’t have enough of either) and sub’d half and half for some of the cream and milk and chicken stock for broth. Otherwise, followed this very closely and it was delightful. It is quite a bit of food, so plan on at least 8 servings. Enjoy!!
