Chicken Tetrazzini

My sister Kathy shared this recipe with me back in 2006—seems like just yesterday. She had made this dish for a family get-to-gether and it was a huge hit. The creamy sauce, the tender chicken and parmesan cheese …what more could you ask for! Just a quick note: I recently visited my sister in Colorado and decided to make this. We went to the store and couldn’t find any chicken dumpling soup. I decided to substitute chicken stock and it was just as tasty as ever…so there you go folks!
