𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

3 cups cooked, shredded chicken 🍗
12 oz spaghetti 🍝
1 cup chicken broth 🍲
1 1/2 cups heavy cream 🥛
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
1/2 cup diced onions 🧅
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1/4 cup unsalted butter 🧈
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
1 teaspoon dried thyme 🌿
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Chopped parsley for garnish 🌿

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the spaghetti 🍝. Cook until al dente, following package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes). Drain the pasta and set aside.

2. Prepare the sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter 🧈. Add the diced onions 🧅 and garlic 🧄, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the flour 🌾 and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

3. Make it creamy: Slowly pour in the chicken broth 🍲 and heavy cream 🥛, whisking constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Add the dried thyme 🌿, salt, and pepper 🧂. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens.

4. Combine everything: Stir in the cooked shredded chicken 🍗 and half of the grated Parmesan cheese 🧀 into the sauce. Toss the cooked spaghetti 🍝 into the mixture, making sure every strand is coated in the creamy sauce.

5. Assemble the casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the chicken and pasta mixture into a greased casserole dish. Top it with the remaining Parmesan 🧀 and shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀.

6. Bake to perfection: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes ⏲️, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown on top 🍝🔥.

7. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley 🌿. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy comfort food! 🍽️
