Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, salt, garlic powder, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Add chopped parsley, shredded chicken, and drained linguine to the creamy sauce and stir gently.
  5. Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour the pasta mixture into the dish and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese generously over the top.
  7. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let the Chicken Tetrazzini rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
