Party Chicken Tetrazzini
"This recipe was given to me by my cousin's wife. She has used it for entertaining for many years. It's great to make ahead, and delicious! I haven't made this myself, but didn't want to lose the recipe. I don't really know how much it makes, but I'm guessing 2 9"x13" dishes, or 1 larger dish."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay-at-home mom, school volunteer, church volunteer, etc., and I live in Middle Tennessee. I like to read, visit the mountains, crochet, cook, etc. My favorite cookbook at this time is Recipe Hall of Fame Quick & Easy Cookbook. My passions are raising children with good moral character, being a good Christian, and food! My pet peeves are recipe instructions that leave out what to do with one of the ingredients, and people who won't put their shopping carts in the cart corrals! I have twin daughters who are in their second year of college and a son who is 16. My girls' college is close enough that I can come by every couple of weeks or so. When I tell them I'm coming, they ask Are you bearing baked goods?. Usually, I am, to the excitement of their suitemates!
