Instructions: In an 8-quart (8 L) saucepot, place chicken,1 yellow onion, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon salt. Pour in water to cover completely. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer chicken for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove cooked chicken from the saucepot and transfer to a large bowl.
Strain chicken broth, reserving 3½ cups (875 ml). Store the remaining chicken broth to use another day. When the chicken is completely cool, remove the meat and discard bones and skin. Cut meat into large chunks and set aside.
Cook spaghetti according to cooking instructions. Using a colander, drain and set aside. Spread spaghetti evenly in a greased 13″ by 9″ baking dish.
Chop the remaining yellow onion. In a 4-quart (4 L) saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion, mushrooms, and lemon juice. Stir well. Cook in hot butter, stirring, for 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and transfer it to a medium bowl.
Using the same saucepan, melt the remaining butter. Stir in all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon salt, ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika until the mixture is smooth. Gently stir in dry sherry and reserved 3½ cups (875 ml) chicken broth. Cook, stirring until the liquid is thickened.
Stir in half-and-half, chicken chunks, and mushrooms. Cook over low heat, stirring, just until the mixture is heated through. Spoon the chicken mixture over the cooked spaghetti in the baking dish. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and a little paprika.
