- 1 cup cooked pasta (shapes of your choice)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock

Place stuffed chicken breasts on foil lined cookie sheet and bake at 365 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
In a large skillet or pot, add butter and allow to melt over medium high heat
Add carrots, celery and onions and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes, then add in mushrooms. Continue to cook until mushrooms look cooked (2-3 additional minutes)
Add flour and mix into the vegetables thoroughly. Allow to cook for one minute, then add in one cup chicken stock. Reduce heat as it thickens. Add more stock if the mixture appears too thick
When mixture is thickened, add pasta. Transfer mixture to casserole dish.
Remove cooked chicken breasts from oven and allow to cool for 3-4 minutes. Slice breasts into 4 slices each and place on top of pasta mixture in the casserole dish.
