Ingredients:
- 8 ounces spaghetti or fettuccine
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Start by cooking the spaghetti or fettuccine according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown. Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas, mixing everything together.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, letting it cook for about 5 minutes.
- Once everything is nicely combined, stir in the cooked pasta and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure that everything is evenly coated.
- If you’re feeling it, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and breadcrumbs on top for an extra crunch.
- Pop the dish into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
