Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cube the cooked chicken and slice the fresh mushrooms if not already prepared.
  2. Chop the red pepper into small, bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a 3-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, whisk together the chicken gravy, light cream, dry sherry, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and simmering.
  5. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, cooked spaghetti, chopped red pepper, and 1/4 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Add the cubed chicken to the dish and stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  7. Cover the dish again and microwave on HIGH for 7 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even heating.
  8. Top the mixture with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  9. Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 2 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let the Tetrazzini stand uncovered for 2 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.
