Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the spaghetti or linguine. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms, sautéing until they’re tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the chicken broth, sour cream, milk, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed veggies, shredded chicken, and frozen peas. Pour the creamy sauce over the mixture and gently fold everything together.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and the cheddar cheese on top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top.
Serving
  1. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Scoop onto plates and serve.

Notes

Make Ahead: This dish can be assembled ahead of time. Cover with foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if it’s chilled. Leftovers are great for lunch the next day!
