Critical Success Points

  • Brown the chicken without burning it (step 2).
  • Cook the pasta al dente to prevent it becoming too soft in the oven (step 5).
  • Achieve a smooth béchamel without lumps (step 7).
  • Monitor the oven baking to avoid the cheese burning (step 9).

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of hot oil splatters when cooking the chicken.
  • Pasta cooking water is very hot; handle with care.
  • The oven reaches 200 °C: use kitchen gloves.
