Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Heat the oven to 190°C/375°F. Cook the pasta until just tender, then drain.
- 2
Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the chicken until its center reaches **74°C/165°F on a food thermometer**. Set it aside.
- 3
Melt the butter in the skillet. Whisk in the flour for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk. Stir until creamy and lightly thickened.
- 4
Add the garlic powder, salt, half the cheddar, pasta, and chicken. Stir gently—no need to fuss over it.
- 5
Spoon into a greased baking dish, top with the remaining cheddar and Parmesan, if using, and bake for 20 minutes.
- 6
Cool for several minutes before serving. Offer any vegetables or fruit on the side rather than mixing them in; picky eaters often feel braver when they can see exactly what they’re getting.
