Tempt Your Tummy Tuesday - Chicken Tetrazzini!

I am so excited to share these recipes with you today! This was a very improvised meal, as I did not have any turkey in freezer, so I used chicken instead.  I also had no dry sherry, so I omitted it completely.  Other than that I followed the recipe here to a 'T', and it was DELICIOUS!  The rolls are definitely going to become a staple in this household, as they turned out beautiful and very tasty!  The roll recipe can be found here.
