Heavenly Chicken Tetrazzini with Sour Cream

It was my birthday this weekend and I decided to save my night out for when the new Twilight movie comes out. Since we were going to be home for my birthday, I wanted to have something that I like for dinner. So, I decided to make my Aunt’s recipe for Heavenly Chicken Tetrazzini with sour cream and mushrooms. The mushrooms are big enough I figure the rest of my family can just pick them out, since they don’t LOVE them like me.
This heavenly chicken tetrazzini with sour cream is similar to a fettuccine alfredo, but you has that sour cream to the sauce also. This recipe is full of calories, so it’s something I make occasionally. It is so worth the occasional splurge though. It’s heavenly!
It starts by sautéing the mushrooms and green onion in some butter in a skillet. Then you set them aside.
In a sauce pan, you combine some butter, flour, and whipping cream. Cook it until it starts to thicken. Then remove from the heat and mix in the sour cream plus salt and pepper to taste.
Next, mix the sauce with cooked egg noodles, cooked chicken, and the mushrooms/green onion mixture you set aside.
Now place half of the mixture into a 9×13 pan and top with half of the Parmesan cheese. Next, top with remaining noodle mixture and top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Then bake at 300 for 45 minutes. Now it’s time to enjoy creamy noodle heaven!
