- 5 oz macaroni
- 1/2 lb chicken thighs
- 1 brown onion
- 1 tsp oil
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 4 Tbsp flour
- 2 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Cook macaroni in boiling water with salt according to the package.
Cut chicken into bite-size pieces, and slice onion thinly.
Heat oil in a frying pan at medium heat, and cook chicken until brown. Add onion and a little bit of salt and pepper. Cook further until the onion softens. Set aside.
In a different pot, melt butter at medium heat, add flour, and cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce bubbles. Add milk and whisk well so there are no lumps. When the sauce gets thicken, season with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper.
Set 1/3 of the sauce aside. Add chicken and drained macaroni into the 2/3 of the sauce and mix. Put it in a baking dish, and pour the remaining 1/3 of the sauce over the macaroni. Cover with mozzarella cheese, and bake in the oven on the upper rack for 13-15 minutes.
