A long time ago I used a premix gratin powder where you didn't have to boil the macaroni separately. Lately there are more quick-boil macaroni varieties available, so I made this thinking that it wasn't necessary to boil the macaroni.

Quick-boil macaroni can be used as-is without having to boil it separately. However, the macaroni will soften and won't have a bite, so if you want to enjoy that then use gratin macaroni, boiled separately.
If adding spinach or broccoli, either boil or microwave, then add in Step 4. Recipe by mielle

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 1/2Onion
  2. 120 gramsChicken thigh meat (or shrimp)
  3. 20 gramsButter
  4. 2 tbspWhite flour
  5. 400 mlMilk
  6. 1Soup base
  7. 60 gramsMacaroni (4-minute quick boil)
  8. 50 gramsPizza cheese
  9. 1Grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken and onion into suitable-sized pieces. Melt the butter in a pot (or frying pan) and saute the chicken and onions.

  2. 2

    Once the onions have wilted, stop the heat. It's okay if the chicken hasn't cooked through. Add the flour and mix until no longer floury.

  3. 3

    Add the milk, soup stock, and macaroni and use a wooden spatula to mix well. Turn on the heat to low and mix slowly, simmering until creamy.

  4. 4

    Once it's become creamy, transfer to a gratin dish, and top with the pizza cheese and grated cheese. Bake in the oven or in an oven at 250℃ for 10-12 minutes.
