Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Bake
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti, broken into pieces
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sherry
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees F (or 175 degrees C).
2
Next, take a non-stick cooking spray and lightly coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch rectangular baking dish.
3
To make this classic dish, fill a large kettle with water and add a pinch of salt. Place the kettle over high heat until it reaches boiling point.
4
Add your spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to its recommended cooking time, which is usually 8-10 minutes or until it reaches the perfect al dente texture.
5
Simultaneously, heat a large saucepan over low heat and melt butter into it. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper to create a smooth paste.
6
Continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly, until it becomes free of lumps. Remove from heat and gradually add chicken broth and cream to the saucepan, stirring continuously.
7
Return the mixture to heat and bring it to a gentle simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Add sherry to the saucepan and then stir in cooked spaghetti, mushrooms, and chicken.
8
Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish and top it with a generous helping of Parmesan cheese.
9
Finally, place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until it's bubbly, lightly browned, and perfectly cooked.
