Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pound(s) whole chicken
8 ounce(s) thin spaghetti
8 tablespoon(s) butter, divided use
4 tablespoon(s) flour
1 cup(s) heavy cream
1 cup(s) chicken broth
1 cup(s) mayonnaise
1 cup(s) sour cream
1 cup(s) grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoon(s) lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/3 cup(s) dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon(s) dry mustard
1 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
8 ounce(s) mushrooms, sliced

Steps:

Cut chicken in pieces and boil until done. Remove and bone the chicken; set aside. Bring the chicken broth to a boil.
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.
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.
Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, parmesan, lemon juice, wine, and the seasonings. Stir until incorporated.
In a separate pan, saute the mushrooms in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter.
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.
