Recipe Notes

Here's how to make it:
- Sprinkle the chicken with seasoned salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Cook the onions, mushrooms and thyme about 3 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
- Add the butter to the skillet. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine. Whisk in the milk and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook about 3 minutes or until thickened. Add half of the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add the cooked pasta, mushroom mixture, peas and chicken. Mix well. Pour into a 13x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and crushed crackers, if using.
- Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 20 minutes.
