Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a deep large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook until pale golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Coarsely shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and into a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 12 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme, and saute until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the chicken.
- Melt 3 more tablespoons butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cream, broth, nutmeg, remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Drain. Add the linguine, sauce, peas, and parsley to the chicken mixture. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta and the mixture is well blended.
- Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Stir the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the pasta. Dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top and the sauce bubbles, about 25 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a good quality dry white wine. A dry white wine with a crisp, clean flavor will work best in this dish. Some good options include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Chardonnay.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overcook the chicken, it will become dry and tough.
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This recipe calls for a combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms. Feel free to use other types of mushrooms, such as oyster mushrooms or portobello mushrooms.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings. This recipe is a starting point. Feel free to add more or less of any of the seasonings to suit your taste.
- Serve over your favorite pasta. Chicken Tetrazzini is traditionally served over spaghetti or linguine. However, you can use any type of pasta that you like.
Conclusion:
Chicken Tetrazzini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
