Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2
Cook fettuccine in boiling salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain and set aside.

Step 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.

Step 4
Gently mix the cooked fettuccine into chicken mixture and spoon into prepared baking dish.

Step 5
Combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, parsley and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon rosemary in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over the casserole.

Step 6
Bake casserole for 20 to 30 minutes, or until bubbling. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. How many pounds have you lost this month? At Dieta Efectiva you can lose 10-12 Lbs your first week and 2-5 Lbs every week after. Visit us at at dietaefectiva.net to learn more about our program CG
