Cook the Chicken:

-
Make the Sauce:
- In a large skillet, melt butter. Sauté mushrooms, onions, and garlic until tender.
- Add flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and cream. Simmer until thickened.

- Transfer to a baking dish, top with remaining cheese and bread crumbs.

Notes
- Use al dente pasta: It will absorb flavors while baking without becoming mushy.
- Add wine: A splash of white wine enhances the sauce’s flavor.
- Crunchy topping: Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter for extra crispiness.
- Vegetable boost: Add peas or spinach for added nutrition and color.
- Cheese variation: Try Gruyère or Fontina for a richer, meltier topping.
