• 3 cups Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 8 oz Mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 medium Onion (diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and white wine, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, letting it thicken slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and velvety.

Step 7

Add the cooked mushrooms, onions, and garlic back into the sauce. Stir in the shredded cooked chicken.

Step 8

Combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the Chicken Tetrazzini from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
