Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 8 ounces spaghetti or fettuccine
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Continue to sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are softened.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour lightly.
  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, cooked chicken, thawed peas, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce mixture, ensuring the noodles are well-coated.
  • Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top for a cheesy crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  • Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
