Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettucini pasta
- 3 cups chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup dry sherry
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the fettucini in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream, until the mixture is smooth and thickened (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the dry sherry, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked fettucini, shredded chicken, thawed peas, and the prepared sauce. Mix well to evenly coat.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by the breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Sherried Chicken and Fettucini Casserole!
