1 med onion, sliced
1 1/2 tsp. celery salt

Spaghetti noodles
1/2 lb. mushrooms

Cook chicken with water, salt, onion and celery salt until tender. Remove chicken and cut into cubes. Save broth. For sauce: create a roux of butter and flour (melt butter, add flour, mix until bubbly). Slowly add other ingredients and simmer until thickened. Cook spaghetti. Saute mushrooms in butter and lemon juice. In a 9x13, repeat layers of noodles, chicken, mushrooms, parmesan cheese, and sauce. Top with cheese and cover. Bake at 350 for 25 mins.
