In my sweet neighborhood folks look after each other. If there is a birth, sickness, or death, we will be there with meals and love.
When one of my neighbors needs support, I often bring folks this recipe for Chicken Tetrazzini based on the one in the Jr. League of Northern Virginia cookbook. It's warm, creamy, and comforting...tastes like a hug feels. I encourage you to make it for a friend.
Chicken Tetrazzini
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup whipping cream
2 Tbsp sherry
salt and pepper to taste
pinch of ground nutmeg
2 cups cooked cubed chicken
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
8 oz spaghetti, cooked
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
In large pot melt butter. Whisk in flour to make a roux, then whisk in chicken broth, cream, and sherry. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and boil for one minute. Add chicken, mushrooms, and spaghetti, stirring well. Transfer to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chill for several hours or overnight. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
