If you’re wondering what to serve with your chicken tetrazzini, you’ve come to the right place.

In this article, I list 13 of the most popular side dishes for chicken tetrazzini.

In a rush? Here’s the short answer.

The best side dishes to serve with chicken tetrazzini are a green bean salad, garlic butter mushrooms, and garlic knots. You can also serve rainbow roasted veggies or bacon puff pastry twists. For more salad options, you can choose a chopped winter salad or a fresh caesar salad.

Ready? Let’s jump right in.

Fresh caesar salad

A caesar salad is my go-to side for chicken tetrazzini.

It’s light, fresh, and gives a crunchy contrast to your hearty chicken pasta dish.

Plus you can whip it up in just 20 minutes!

Follow cooking classy for a timeless caesar salad everyone will love.

Psst… if you want to make your own croutons, don’t forget that day-old bread works best.

Cheesy garlic bread

Cheese, chicken, and pasta are always a winner.

So serve up your creamy pasta casserole with some gooey, cheesy garlic bread.

Filled with a trio of herbs – parsley, basil, and rosemary, this bread’s aroma will have you coming back to it every single time.

And for an extra burst of flavor, you could even add in some pesto.

Your dinner guests will love this cheesy garlic bread!

Shredded sauteed Brussel sprouts

Tired of the same old roasted brussel sprouts recipe?

Try this shredded sauteed version.

Adding a healthy vegetable to your comforting casserole meal would be a great way to complete the creamy pasta dish.

These shredded brussel sprouts are cooked with some fresh lemon juice and parmesan cheese, which brightens up the dish and helps cut through the richness of the creamy pasta sauce.

Chopped winter salad

Add more life and greens to your meal by serving up a chopped winter salad.

It’s a flavor-packed salad that can hold its own against the pasta, or it would work well as a starter.

You can choose between red wine or balsamic vinegar for the dressing. They’ll both add a good dose of tartness which is exactly what you need next to the heavy pasta!

Roasted broccolini with lemon

Since chicken tetrazzini is more of a one-pot dish, you don’t need to add much to it.

But a side of roasted broccolini that’s sprinkled with lemon would be a wonderful healthy addition.

Broccolini is more tender than broccoli and has more stalk (which I think is the tastiest bit).

This roasted broccolini with lemon is a simple side, but the flavor does the talking.

Garlic knots

Not feeling the classic garlic bread?

I’ve got another suggestion – garlic knots!

Chewy and garlicky, this is a fun side dish anyone will enjoy, kids and adults alike.

You can make the dough ahead of time and freeze it, so all you need to do on the day is pull it out and bake it.

This means these little balls of flavor are a great side dish option for a busy weeknight.

Green bean salad

Looking for a refreshing, but filling dish to serve with your chicken pasta?

Check out this green bean salad.

It’s colorful, crisp, and nourishing.

You have tomatoes for sweetness, pine nuts for some earthiness, and mozzarella for creaminess. Then everything is tied together with a tangy vinegarette.

Brighten your chicken tetrazzini with a serving of this green bean salad.

Bacon puff pastry twists

Why settle for plain old breadsticks when you can have these bacon puff pastry twists instead.

The bacon is coated in a moreish combination of rosemary and brown sugar, which might sound strange but is actually super tasty.

The crunchy twists will add texture to your meal, plus the signature smoky bacon flavor that goes so well with chicken.

Garlic mushrooms

If there aren’t any mushrooms in your pasta already, then they’re the perfect side dish.

The umami flavors add depth to your dish, and they’re simply irresistible.

Especially if you douse the mushrooms in a garlic sauce to keep them nice and juicy.

(you can never have too much garlic!)

Watercress salad

Watercress is probably my favorite leafy green.

Its peppery nature will contrast with the creamy, buttery pasta sauce and keep this dish from getting too heavy.

The sharp notes of mustard and red onion will also help add bite to your meal and make sure the whole thing doesn’t just taste of grease.

Rainbow roasted veggies

You’ve already got a casserole of chunks of chicken and tender spaghetti.

The only thing you’re missing is a big helping of veggies.

So take a look in your fridge and see what vegetables you have to hand, chop them up and then chuck them in the oven.

After 20 minutes you’ll have a side dish ready to go!

These oil-free rainbow roasted vegetables are a must-try, my friends.

Caprese bruschetta

I had to mention caprese salad somewhere.

These cool little bruschetta sliders are great for an appetizer before the main event.

They’re filled with classic Italian flavors and are small enough to leave room for the filling pasta that’s coming next.

Authentic Italian tiramisu

Looking for a sweet dessert to finish up your meal?

Well, look no further because the classic Italian tiramisu is here.

This no-bake dessert is a gem that you can assemble ahead of time using only six ingredients.

It has a smooth creamy texture that’s filled with a balanced flavor from bitter coffee and sweet mascarpone. It’s an elegant way to end your Italian dinner.

Don’t miss out on a chance to wow your guests with this Authentic Italian tiramisu.
