A delightful twist on the classic chicken spaghetti, this creamy chicken pasta bake is a comforting dish perfect for family dinners.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later if needed.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, milk, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier.
Add the mozzarella, parmesan, mushrooms, chicken, and cooked pasta to the sauce and mix well.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the pasta.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
Combine the breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the top.
For added flavor, mix in some grated parmesan with the breadcrumbs.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Check the dish halfway through to ensure even browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy chicken pasta bake.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
