Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place chicken in a Dutch oven, and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour or until tender. Remove chicken from broth, reserving broth. Cool chicken to touch. Bone and shred chicken. (You can do this step ahead the day before).

Add enough water to reserved broth to measure 3 quarts. Bring to a boil. Cook spaghetti in broth according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Cook bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion in butter in Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Add flour and next 4 ingredients; stir until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Gradually stir in half-and-half, and cook until thickened. Add 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, stirring until cheese melts. Add shredded chicken, mushroom soup, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, sherry, and pimiento; stir well.

Step 4

Combine chicken mixture and spaghetti, tossing gently. Spread in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

Yummy, yummy! I have to admit to adding more sherry, because I like the flavor in my tetrazzini. A very hearty casserole and great comfort food. Made for FYC tag game.
