  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed

How To Make fancy chicken spaghetti

  • Step 1
    Cut chicken in pieces and boil until done. Remove and bone the chicken; set aside. Bring the chicken broth to a boil.
  • Step 2
    Break spaghetti in half and cook until al dente in the boiling broth. Reserve a cup of the chicken broth, then drain the spaghetti. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Make the sauce: In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter. Add flour and cook until bubby, plus one more minute. Add the cream and the reserved cup of chicken broth. Stir until thickened.
  • Step 4
    Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, parmesan, lemon juice, wine, and the seasonings. Stir until incorporated.
  • Step 5
    In a separate pan, saute the mushrooms in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter.
  • Step 6
    In the large saucepan (or a large bowl, if not big enough), add the sauteed mushrooms, cooked chicken, and spaghetti. Gently combine until everything is coated. Pour into a 3 quart casserole (or a 9x13 baking pan). Sprinkle with paprika and additional freshly grated parmesan on top. Bake for 30 minutes.
