Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 chicken breast boneless skinless cut into cubes
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 ounces spaghetti broken in half
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Melt the Butter: Set a large pot over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt fully. Swirl it around so it coats the bottom evenly.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Add chicken cubes to the pot. Stir and cook until the outside turns white and lightly golden. This step builds flavor early.
  3. Add the Mushrooms: Stir mushrooms into the pot. Let them cook until soft and slightly darker. They release moisture and deepen the taste.
  4. Sprinkle the Flour: Shake flour evenly over the chicken and mushrooms. Stir well so no dry spots remain. This thickens the sauce later.
  5. Pour in Liquids: Slowly add chicken broth while stirring. Follow with milk and keep stirring until smooth. The mixture should look creamy.
  6. Add Pasta and Seasoning: Place spaghetti into the pot and press it down gently. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder over the top.
  7. Simmer Until Tender: Cover the pot and let everything cook on low heat. Stir occasionally so pasta stays loose. Cook until noodles turn soft.
  8. Finish with Cheese: Turn off the heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle parsley on top and mix gently before serving.
