Cooking this dish is straightforward, even for those with limited culinary experience. The chicken is cooked until tender and then combined with a simple cheese sauce made from milk, butter, and cheese.

Ingredients

Quantity	Ingredients
200 gms	Pasta (any type)
2 cups	Britannia The Laughing Cow Cheese Block, grated
2	Chicken breasts, diced
2 tbsp	Butter

Method

Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water until just cooked. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan, cook the diced chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the grated Britannia The Laughing Cow Cheese Block until it melts and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, cheesy goodness with a side of garlic bread.
