Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Chicken Tetrazzini
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the linguine in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes, then drain.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked linguine, shredded chicken, and chopped parsley to the sauce mix and toss to coat.
  5. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and pour the mixture into it, spreading it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the casserole dish.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
