Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 pound spaghetti, cooked al dente
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a large casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Deglaze the skillet with 1 cup of dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up any browned bits. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir to coat. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock and heavy cream to create a smooth sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the shredded chicken, sautéed mushrooms, thawed peas, salt, and pepper. Remove the sauce from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly.
Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Top with grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley.
Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Toss with the panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
