Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking pan with cooking spray, place chicken breasts in the pan, and cover with a lid or foil.

02

Step
30 mins

Bake in the oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and shred with 2 forks.

03

Step
12 mins

While the chicken is roasting, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

04

Step
7 mins

Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and add cream cheese; stir until melted.

05

Step
1 mins

Whisk in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.

06

Step
3 mins

Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all combined and creamy, about 3 minutes. Don't simmer for to long or over high heat; the sauce can break down and become curdled instead of creamy.

07

Step

Drain pasta and add to sauce with shredded chicken.

For an even richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular butter for the sauce.
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as peas, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes to customize the dish to your liking.
