• Add the remaining two tablespoons butter to the pan. Add mushrooms, stir and then cook without touching for 2-3 minutes until brown. Stir with a wooden spoon and cook a little bit more until the other side is brown, about 1-2 minutes. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook until onion is soft and fragrant, another 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, stir and cook another minute.
• Stir in dry sherry. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in flour. Cook for one minute. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in WARM chicken stock, making sure there are no lumps. Slowly whisk in milk, and remaining salt along with freshly cracked black pepper. Return to the heat, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
• Once the sauce has simmered for a few minutes and has started to thicken, drop the pasta into the boiling water. Cook until just UNDER aldente. It should have a good bite to it. Drain.
• When the sauce has thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pasta, 1 cup of the shredded cheese and chopped chicken. Use tongs to combine everything together. Season to taste again with salt and pepper.
