Chicken Tetrazzini

Lemon Butter Chicken is very similar to the famous dish, Chicken Tetrazzini, which is another favorite chicken dinner option here on T2T. Chicken Tetrazzini said to have been named for the opera singer Luisa Tetrazzini. This rich dish combines cooked spaghetti or fettuccine noodles, strips of chicken with a white wine-Parmesan cheese cream sauce. Breadcrumbs are sprinkled over the surface and the dish is baked until bubbly and golden brown.
