More About This Recipe

  • Way back at the turn of the last century, Luisa Tetrazzini was a famous opera star. The Italian soprano was famous all over the world, known for her lyric-coloratura parts. She was also known for her discerning taste and hearty appetite. After touring in Italy, Russia, Spain and South America, she made her American debut in San Francisco in 1905. In her honor, the chef at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California, named his signature baked chicken dish, chicken tetrazzini, after her. We wouldn’t be surprised if you wanted to burst into song after one bite of this hearty, filling and easy dinner. Once you’ve tried this easy chicken tetrazzini casserole, you can find more traditional favorite recipes, intriguing variations and fresh new takes in Betty’s Best Chicken Tetrazzini Recipes.
