Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish
  • Large pot
  • Skillet or Dutch Oven
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz linguine or spaghetti
  • 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works well)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 lb cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente (slightly undercooked). Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 3-5 minutes until golden. Add onions and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove veggies from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt the remaining 3 tbsp butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly.
  • Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the half-and-half. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  • Return the chicken, mushroom mixture, and parsley to the sauce. Stir in the cooked pasta. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top evenly with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Broil for 2 minutes if a browner top is desired. Garnish with more parsley.

Notes

Leftovers freeze beautifully. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
