Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound spaghetti noodles cooked according to package directions
  • 3 cups cooked chicken shredded or cubed
  • 2 cans 10.5 oz each condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms fresh or canned
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs optional, for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onions and mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more until fragrant.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, thyme, basil, salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese to the soup mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Layer half of the cooked spaghetti in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the chicken mixture over the pasta. Repeat with remaining pasta and chicken mixture.
  6. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs if using.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
