Remove chicken from bones in large pieces. Cut large pieces in 2 x 2 inch pieces. This should yield about four cups of meat. When stock has cooled, remove fat and measure three cups. Add water if necessary. Sauce Melt butter and fry celery and onion until transparent (do not overcook). Add flour and seasoning and stir until well blended. Add stock slowly, stirring constantly. Bring to boiling point and boil for 2 minutes while stirring. Add cream very slowly. Tetrazzini Break spaghetti into one inch pieces and cook and drain. Meanwhile, saute mushrooms in butter. Season sauce with sherry. Place spaghetti in shallow baking dish which has been buttered. Pour half of sauce over spaghetti. Put in a layer of chicken, then mushrooms. Pour remaining sauce over top. Top with cheese. Bake at 400 degrees until brown for 30 to 40 minutes.
