The spoils of chicken.

My boyfriend's mom gave us a recipe for the most fattening, most unhealthy thing ever created by man; Chicken Tetrazinni. I looked it up on WW and they sub out A LOT of things but it was mighty delicious. I usually take a picture BEFORE we eat but clearly someone could not hold out.
Here is the recipe.

12 oz Pasta, whole-wheat, uncooked, use whole-wheat egg noodles
1 spray(s) Cooking spray
2 Tbsp Margarine, fat free, divided
3 Tbsp Vinegar, tarragon-flavored
1 pound(s) Mushrooms, fresh, sliced (about 6 cups)
1½ cup(s) Chicken, broth, fat free
1 cup(s) Milk, fat free
4 tsp Arrowroot powder
1 tsp Dried thyme
1 tsp Tarragon, dried
½ tsp Salt, table, or more to taste
¼ tsp Pepper, black, or more to taste
¼ cup(s) Cream, sour, fat free
3 cup(s) Chicken breast, cooked, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup(s) Peas and carrots, raw, thawed
3 Tbsp SoyaKaas Grated parmesan style, or similar product

Instructions
1. Cook noodles according to package directions with added salt; drain and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9 X 13-inch pan with cooking spray.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of margarine and vinegar together in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook until soft, stirring, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
4. Whisk broth, milk and arrowroot together in a medium-size saucepan until smooth. Stir in remaining tablespoon of margarine; set over medium heat. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until thickened and boiling, about 8 minutes. Stir in thyme, tarragon, salt and pepper. Remove sauce from heat; stir in sour cream.
5. Combine cooked noodles, chicken, mushrooms, peas and carrots, and sauce together in a large bowl. Pour into prepared pan; sprinkle with grated topping. Bake until bubbling and hot, and top is starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.








The serving size is about 7 points. It's very good but be warned. It's not as creamy and savory as you thing it will be.
