  6. 6

    Meanwhile, boil the macaroni according to the package directions, drain, and return to the pot.

  7. 7

Tips while you cook

Cook chicken until golden
Sauté the seasoned diced chicken over medium‑high heat for 8–10 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
Add milk before cheese
After softening onion and garlic, pour in evaporated milk before stirring in the cheeses.
Melt cheese on low heat
Stir the cheese sauce over low heat until all cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth, preventing scorching.
