Steps
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Add some cooking spray to a large non-stick pan or dutch oven, and preheat over medium heat.
Add onions and sliced mushrooms to the pan, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low, and add the garlic, and cook another minute.
Add the butter to the pan (leave the mushrooms, garlic and onions in there), and let it melt.
Sprinkle the flour, and stir to incorporate (about 30 seconds).
Add the wine, and deglaze the pan using a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits and mix in flour.
Add chicken stock, milk salt and pepper, and stir to incorporate.
Bring to a simmer and stir often (almost continuously) to avoid scorching. The sauce will thicken pretty quickly, after a minute or 2.
Turn off the stove, remove from heat, and add the cup of parmesan cheese, stirring to incorporate.
Toss the sauce with the cooked shredded chicken and cooked/ drained linguini pasta.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish, sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle extra 1/2 cup parmesan cheese on top, and bake at 375 until cheese is melted, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, and let sit 5 minutes or so. Serve and enjoy!

Robinson j on 2026-04-30 (5 stars): Bomb.com good to the soul
Sheldon Gruber Lebowitz on 2026-03-10 (5 stars): This recipe is wonderful. I substituted Lactaid skim milk, and used Smart Balance butter for dietary purposes, as well as chick pea pasta. The dish came out perfect. This has definitely been added to my husband’s and my weekly rotation. It is so quick, easy, satisfying and delicious. Thank you!
Glo on 2026-02-25 (5 stars): Boopa-dee, bappa-dee....We had an Italian themed Dinner party for my husband's birthday...and this recipe was such a hit! I substituted the pasta and instead used spaghetti squash. It was so delicious, and leftovers were even better the next day! The wine gives a very authentic taste. I don't drink alcohol due to health reasons but I sure savoured every bite! I definitely look forward to making this again!
