This whole recipe only requires about 20 minutes of hands-on time.

1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts until fully cooked (about 10 minutes), then remove them from the pot. Cut into bite-size pieces and set aside.

2

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3

To the same Dutch oven where you cooked the chicken, add 4 tablespoons of butter and let it melt. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they start to brown (about 4 minutes)

4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onions are translucent (2-3 minutes).

5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for a minute.

6

Slowly add the chicken stock and half and half, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let the sauce thicken slightly.

7

Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

8

Return the cooked chicken and pasta to the Dutch oven and mix well to coat everything in the sauce.

9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.

10

Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is bubbling and golden. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
