Potluck Chicken Tetrazzini

This appeared as a post on my Facebook page, and just looked to good to pass up.  If you want to see the video recipe for this go to recipe.com and watch.  It has a few steps but can be ready in an hour if you are good at multitasking.

2 c. chopped cooked chicken
8 oz. spaghetti noodles
2 T. butter
6 oz. asparagus, cut into pieces
1/2 red pepper, diced
1 c. mushrooms, sliced
3 T. flour
1 c. chicken broth
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
2 T. lemon zest
2 slices french bread

Cook spaghetti noodles to al dente--they will finish up in the oven.  Drain.  Melt 2 T. butter in a large saucepan.  Add in the red pepper and mushrooms.  Saute 2 minutes.  Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and mix in well.  Stir in the broth and milk.  Bring to a good simmer and continue to cook until thickened.  Stir in the parmesan cheese and allow to melt over low heat.  Mix in the chicken, noodles and lemon zest.  Pour into a sprayed 8 x 8 casserole dish.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper,

In a bowl mix 2 T. olive oil and 1 T. lemon zest.  Cut two pieces of french bread into cubes and toss with the olive oil mixture.  Sprinkle the cubes over the top of the casserole.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15- 20 minutes.
