Dishes prepared au gratin are usually served in restaurants, but I wanted to make my own. I tried to come up with a quick and easy recipe that uses common ingredients you'd have in your fridge.

Since you cook the macaroni in the milk, you don't need to cook it in advance.
The key is to brown the cheese to look delicious using the oven or a oven. The baking time depends on your taste and how hot your oven gets.
Sprinkling parsley if you like will add a nice color to the dish. Recipe by Nauchan

Steps

1

Preparation: Cut the chicken into 1 cm cubes, and thinly slice the onion.
2

Stir-frying the ingredients: Melt the butter, and stir-fry the chicken and onion over medium heat. Turn off the heat when the onion becomes soft and wilted. Add the flour, and mix well.
3

Making the white sauce: Once the flour is blended in well, add the milk, chicken stock powder, macaroni, and simmer until the sauce is thickened over medium heat.
4

Transfer the mixture into a heatproof gratin dish. Place one slice of melting sliced cheese on top, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and bake in the oven.
5

Garnishing: When the cheese has browned, remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle with parsley if you like, and you're done.
