The Instapot
I keep calling it that. I know it’s an Instant…
I bought a new cookbook: The Best Simple Recipes from America’s Test Kitchen. I lurve it. It’s full of tasty-looking, non-intimidating recipes, and I want to make every one of them! For now I’ll share this one with you, but you should really just go buy the book, because seriously, it’s a good one.
Chicken Tetrazzini
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and mushrooms until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring broth, half-and-half, and noodles to boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until noodles are tender and liquid is slightly thickened, 5 to 8 minutes.
Add chicken, peas, lemon juice, thyme and mushroom mixture to the pot and stir; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Makes 4 servings.

The first time I heard about Chicken Tetrazzini is in the Baby Sitters’ Club books, where they refer to it in their summer camp as “that weird chicken tetrazzini thing.” I bet they wouldn’t call it weird now! This sounds absolutely delicious 😀
Wei-Wei
I haven’t read those books in FOREVER! I’ve been really into young-adult fiction lately… maybe it’s time to revisit the Babysitters’ Club!
my fave is the now infamous maury clip that they played on the soup a million times last year…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znHObR07F5s
OMG! Hi-larious. I’ll never think of this dish the same way again.
Um, yeah-was gonna go find that youtube video myself-so freaking funny.
This looks yummy, Crystal.
I love this reference now… and I find it hilarious that I titled the post “chicken tetrazzini!” with an exclamation point, as if I was channeling my inner Maury. 🙂
