How to Make Creamy Chicken And Spaghetti Casserole

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook 1 pound ground chicken, 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, 2 stalks celery (finely chopped), 1/2 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Add the cooked chicken mixture to the spaghetti and toss to combine.

Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Stir for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half.
Cook and stir over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until thickened and bubbly.
Stir in 8 ounces velveeta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped green olives, and 2 tablespoons chopped pimientos until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and pour sauce over the chicken and spaghetti mixture.
Toss gently to coat.
Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
