How to Make Skip's Chicken Tetrazzini

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring constantly until smooth.
Reduce heat to low and stir in cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk until well combined.
Add cooked chicken, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Stir until heated through.
Add cooked pasta and stir to coat evenly with the sauce.
Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Top with remaining Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
