Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish.

  • Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

  • In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

  • Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Stir in the garlic and sliced mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.

  • Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.

  • Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.

  • Add the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.

  • Add the cooked chicken and drained spaghetti to the sauce and mix well to coat evenly.

  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and breadcrumbs evenly over the top.

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbling.

  • Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving

Notes

Rotisserie chicken works perfectly in this recipe and saves preparation time.You can add vegetables such as peas, spinach, or broccoli for extra nutrition.For a richer sauce, substitute milk with heavy cream.If reheating leftovers, add a splash of milk or broth to keep the pasta creamy.
