• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the linguine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute.
4. Pour in the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried basil, and dried parsley. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
6. In a large baking dish, combine the cooked linguine pasta and the chicken mixture. Mix well to coat the pasta with the sauce.
7. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the pasta.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dish is heated through.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
10. Serve hot and enjoy!
