Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Cook the fettucini in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream, until the mixture is smooth and thickened (about 5 minutes).

Step 5

Stir in the dry sherry, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked fettucini, shredded chicken, thawed peas, and the prepared sauce. Mix well to evenly coat.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by the breadcrumbs for a crispy topping.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Sherried Chicken and Fettucini Casserole!
