For an even richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular butter for the sauce. Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as peas, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes to customize the dish to your liking.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
1 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking pan with cooking spray, place chicken breasts in the pan, and cover with a lid or foil.
02
Step
30 mins
Bake in the oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and shred with 2 forks.
03
Step
12 mins
While the chicken is roasting, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
04
Step
7 mins
Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and add cream cheese; stir until melted.
05
Step
1 mins
Whisk in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
06
Step
3 mins
Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all combined and creamy, about 3 minutes. Don't simmer for to long or over high heat; the sauce can break down and become curdled instead of creamy.
