Cheesy Chicken Tetrazzini Reviews

This was okay, but I suggest making some modifications. I only baked it for 25 minutes, and at 350. I skipped the parsley and added lots of garlic. It ends up a little dry still, but perhaps using more broth in the mixture could help.
Ours turned out great. We added some Monterey Jack cheese with the parmesan and weve used broccoli or asparagus instead of the red pepper on occasion.
I had typed in 4 ingredients to see what recipes would pop in and lo and behold this recipe came up. At first I was a bit leary because it wasnt a full 4 stars, but I love cooking with Sherry so I decided to give it a try. I followed the recipe exactly except I didnt have Jarlsburg cheese, I had a bunch of other cheeses that I mixed for the topping, including, 4 cheese italian, a little mozzarella and a touch of sharp cheddar. My husband and I both loved it. Someone had said it was a little bland but they had skipped the Port wine, it totally changes the flavor if you skimp on the Sherry. I will be making this again. Next time for guests. Thank you for posting this recipe.
Awesome. I made a few substitutions, but the basic recipe is wonderful.
Very easy and tasted great I didnt have any Sherry so I used a dry white wine instead, and it was still yummy. I also used mozzerella instead of the Jarlsberg cheese because its what I had on hand. Will try it with Jarlsberg next time to see if it made a difference. :)
Not very flavorful. I added quite a bit of garlic and pepper and still very bland and too dry. We threw the majority of it out. Will not make again.
I used milk instead of cream, broccolli instead of mushrooms. I added garlic, and garlic salt. I cut baking time to 25 min. It was delicious and low fat
This became an instant favorite for my family to continue enjoying turkey after Thanksgiving. I have also made it many times with chicken. It has a terrific rich flavor.
This is absolutely scrumptious. Ive made it several times - the whole family loves it. I follow the recipe as written - dont change a thing.
Great recipe....followed exactly and whole family enjoyed.
Absolutely delicious I dont know what happened with the others, but mine was again "absolutely delicious". I only had heavy cream so I halved it with milk, I substituted the jarlsberg cheese with mozzarella cheese, and the green onion with yellow onion. The only other thing that I did was up the seasonings to taste and added cayenne pepper for that Louisiana Cajun pop. Whooo weee now, taste so good I think that Ill have another plate. Excellent recipe...
My entire family really enjoyed this recipe Didnt have Jarlsberg cheese and wasnt sure where to find it, so I just used Colby jack. The absolute only thing that I would change is the amount of thyme. It was a little overpowering for me, but no one else in my family seemed to mind. Next time I will just scale the thyme back a little. Otherwise an absolutely awesome recipe that I will definitely be making again.
This is a good recipe. I had left over turkey so that is what I used. I did not have Parmesan and Jarlsberg cheeses so I used Edam instead of Jarlsberg and mozzarella instead of Parmesan. Those were the only substitutions. It was good and comforting, my granddaughter added cayenne pepper because it was a little bland for her. Probably would have been better with the Parmesan and Jarlsberg cheeses. Very easy to make, and seemed pretty much fool proof.
Jarlsberg is a great addition. Its like pouring foundue over pasta. I changed up the vegetables to what I had on hand. Added more cream because it seemed a little dry before going in the oven. Will make again.
