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

Steps

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

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

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

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.
