Ingredients
  

8 oz. spaghetti or linguine

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup sour cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling the spaghetti or linguine in a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, frozen peas, sour cream, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

        Add the Pasta: Gently fold the cooked pasta into the chicken mixture until everything is evenly coated.

          Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

            Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
