30 Minute Chicken Tetrazzini Stew

This quick and easy 30 Minute Chicken Tetrazzini Stew is the perfect easy dinner your family will love!  Today’s recipe is given to us by Deb…

“My name is Deb and the name of my blog is Bowl Me Over.  Why Bowl Me Over? Because a lot of the things I make end up in a bowl, hence the name!  Sometimes it’s a soup or stew, I have a ton of great salads on my site and great meal in a bowl like this tasty Low Carb Pad Thai Bowl. Most of my recipes are casual, healthy, easy & delicious – what can I say? That’s how I roll! 🙂 

I live in Fresno in the sunny Central Valley of California. While you may be digging out from the snow we are enjoying 70 degree weather before the big heat of the summer hits.

So as I started thinking about what to share today I knew I wanted to make something in a bowl. I also wanted it to be quick, easy and an incredibly delicious, family friendly meal. I think I’ve nailed it! I hope you think so too!”

Just like the casserole this bowl is filled with delicious creamy cheesiness. Unlike the casserole, this meal only takes 30 minutes!

Seriously this stew is so good you will literally be standing at the stove with a spoon! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! 😄

It’s really easy too – you’re going to love that part. Only 30 minutes to dinner deliciousness!

So here’s how easy this is – you’ll start with using leftover rotisserie chicken, also diced onions and mushrooms.

Melt butter & add olive oil. Sauté the onions and mushrooms for about five minutes. Season with salt & pepper, add the minced garlic. Continue to sauté for about a minute more.

Next sprinkle with flour. Stir and coat the vegetables until the flour is cooked, about a minute or so. Now add the sherry. Stir it thru and scrape up all of the little bits on the bottom of the pan. When you’ve cooked out the wine, add the remaining liquid. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring and you’ll see the mixture will thicken.

Here’s an idea of what it will look like as you cook the stew. Adding the ingredients step-by-step layer in big flavor!

Add the pasta and continue to stir it while it cooks to keep it from sticking. Cook the pasta according to the required cooking time on the package. When there are two minutes remaining to cook the pasta, add the cheese and milk. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted, the cream is stirred thru and the pasta is cooked.

If you’re looking to add some extra veggies to your meal, add a cup of frozen peas or a couple handfuls of spinach at the very end. The greens add delicious flavor and texture.
