Four Cheese Chicken Fettuccine

 chicken fettucineThis recipe for chicken fettuccine is a family favorite.

I came across it a few years ago when I was to bring a chicken dish to a Slabach family reunion.   Several of us were assigned this responsibility, and it didn’t matter what we brought as long as it was a 9 x 12 pan of a chicken dish. When there are nearly fifty folks to feed, there’s a pretty sure guarantee the variety will please everyone’s palate without trouble.  I assumed that others would bring chicken rice dishes or tetrazzini, and my husband told me to find something different than all the usual chicken dishes.  So I did.
I found this chicken fettuccine recipe in a Taste of Home cookbook.  [Find more great recipes at www.tasteofhome.com].  In addition to fettuccini noodles and chicken, you’ll need four different kinds of cheese for this recipe:  Swiss, parmesan, mozzarella, and cream cheese.

This one became a keeper.  Put this dish with a fresh garden salad and some French bread or garlic bread, and you’ve got a meal. Both children and adults claim this dish as a favorite, and nobody in my house complains if we’re having leftovers when chicken fettuccine is on the table.
I usually double (or triple or quadruple) this recipe and put one or two pans in the freezer for later use. If I’m a little short on any of the cheeses or cream, I don’t worry about it since I’m doubling the recipe. Throw in a little extra milk or some other cheese if you’d like. Once when I quadrupled the recipe, I used 24 oz. of cream cheese instead of 32 oz. Occasionally if I don’t have Swiss cheese, I’ve used Munster instead. I use my home-canned chicken for this, but sometimes I’ve used leftover grilled chicken or leftover chicken from another dish as well. (The link for home-canned chicken takes you to home-canned beef, but the directions are there for the chicken as well.)
