I think this is a good way to stretch a buck. It makes a big casserole pan and leftovers can be frozen. I usually save those in freezer bags for when Im not home this way I know my husband has a healthy and home cooked meal.

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 chicken thighs or breasts (or a combo of both)
1 pkg mushrooms, fresh
1 lb spaghetti, or angel hair pasta
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour (i used arrowroot)
1/4 c dry sherry
3 c chicken broth, unsalted
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup, fat-free
1 large onion
3 clove garlic
2 large celery stalks

Steps:

  • 1. In a small sauce pan poach your chicken, add water and put on the stove bring to a boil and then let it simmer for about 30 mins. (I got busy so mine was on for about an hour) Cool in broth. Skim the foam off the top.
  • 2. In another pot add water for your spaghetti. While waiting for water to come to a boil break spaghetti into 1 inch pieces. Cook pasta according to package and drain when pasta is cooked add some butter. (I put the spaghetti into the baking dish Im going to use . This way I can sautee the veggies in the same pot I just cooked the spaghetti in and saves on clean up) You can salt your pasta water...
  • 3. Add some olive oil to your pot and add onions sautee til golden add celery and then add mushrooms. Stir well. When the mushrooms are cooked thru (about 5 mins) add the garlic stir it in and sautee for a few mins.
  • 4. Add 2 tablespoons of flour to your veggies stir it in until it all dissolves then add the sherry and chicken broth (use the broth that you poached the chicken in)bring to a boil until broth thickens.
  • 5. When the broth thickens up add your pasta to the sauce and mix well. Put back into your baking dish top with some grated cheese and bake @ 350 until top gets lightly browned.
