Memaw Peacock's Old-Fashioned Chicken Spaghetti
OK, so I know there are already a bajillion tetrazzini or chickenetti, (or whatever your family calls it) recipes, and I enjoy them as well, but this is a bit different with the tomato soup etc. and I really think this is my favorite, and it has a cool name. This is from Paula Deen's Quick and Easy Meals. I will share the recipe as printed in the magazine, but I often skip steps 1-5 and just used precooked or leftover chicken.
