Chicken Tetrazini
1 whole chicken 3 - 5 lb's
1/2 lb. mushrooms sliced
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. flour
16 oz. chicken broth
1/2 pt. light or whipping (NOT whipped) cream
1/4 c. DRY white wine
8 oz. spaghetti pasta, cooked
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
paprika and parsley for color
in a large pot cover the chicken in water and boil till done, when a leg pulls off easily
strain broth into a seperate bowl and save the broth
when the bird has cooled shred the meat off (no skin) & save the carcass and any remaing broth for soup if you want
melt some butter in a fry pan - add mushrooms and onions sauteing for 5-10 minutes over low heat - when done set aside
melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan, slowly add flour and salt - when thick, blend in cream and broth stirring constantly until thickened - stir in the wine
cook the pasta according to the box
in a greased baking dish combine 1/2 the shrooms & spaghetti - make a well in the middle and place in it the chicken and rest of the shrooms - pour sauce over chicken and spaghetti - sprinkle with grated parmasan cheese over top, then paprika and parsley for a little color
bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or when the pasta on the edges starts to brown
a ceasar salad is great with it
chicken $3, pasta $1, shrooms $1.50, onion $.30, whipping cream $1.60, wine on hand = $7.40
