### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Creamy Chicken Tetrazzini

#### 1. **Sauté the Vegetables**

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté the chopped onion until soft. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.

#### 2. **Make the Sauce**

In a large bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, half of the Parmesan, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir in the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables.

#### 3. **Combine with Pasta**

Add the cooked pasta to the sauce mixture and toss until everything is well-coated.

#### 4. **Assemble the Bake**

Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top with remaining Parmesan and the shredded mozzarella. If using, top with breadcrumbs for a crispy finish.

#### 5. **Bake Until Golden**

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and lightly golden brown.

#### 6. **Serve and Enjoy**

Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of freshness.
