Chicken Tetrazzini

Ingredients

• 6 ounces fettuccine, preferably spinach
• 2 teaspoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
• 3 medium leeks, white parts only, washed and finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
• 6 ounces button mushrooms, quartered
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, divided
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

½ cup low-fat milk

• 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• Lemon juice, to taste
• Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
• ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup fine dry breadcrumbs

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Cook fettuccine in boiling salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon rosemary; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add broth and milk; bring to a boil, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in chicken. Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
