Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

• Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in melted margarine until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add to the spaghetti along with chicken, evaporated milk, cream of chicken soup, 4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, celery salt, salt, and black pepper. Toss mixture to evenly mix; transfer to prepared dish. Sprinkle 4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese over spaghetti mixture.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Optional: Add 1-2 chicken bouillon cubes to the boiling water before adding pasta to add extra flavor. Drain.
• Sprinkle the diced chicken thighs with a little salt and pepper, if desired. In a large pan, brown the diced chicken thighs in olive oil for about 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
• To the same pan, add butter, garlic, sliced mushrooms, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until mushrooms are browned.
• Using a spatula, scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate any bits and pieces that may have adhered to the bottom of the pan. This is where your flavor is, so be sure to get it all!
• Add cream of chicken soup, milk, lemon juice, paprika, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. Stir well.
• Add the cooked pasta and cooked chicken to the pan. Stir to combine. Add the other 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese on top. Heat to bubbly!

Add the dry Sherry to taste, if using. Add about half of the Parmesan cheese and continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Taste and add kosher salt, as needed. If the sauce is too thick, add extra cream or stock.
