Step-by-step
- In a large cooking pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and chicken, and cook until the chicken changes color and is no longer pink (this will take about 5 minutes).
- Add the salt, pepper and garlic powder and mix.
- Take out the chicken and mushrooms and set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 tbsp of butter to the pot and ½ cup of flour.
- Add the chicken stock and milk and continue whisking to ensure no lumps are formed in the sauce.
- Keep whisking until the sauce thickens.
- Once the sauce has thickened, turn down the heat to low and add the pasta and the chicken and mushrooms back to the pot.
- Stir well.
- Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the pasta is al dente, stirring every few minutes to avoid the pasta clumping together.
- After the pasta is cooked, remove from heat.
- Sprinkle the pasta with parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
