Step 2
First, prepare the "Béchamel" sauce. To do this, melt a piece of butter in a small saucepan. Then add flour and quickly whisk it vigorously until it fully combines with the butter and turns into a small lump. Now pour in the milk and whisk energetically again. Keep the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. When the sauce becomes fairly smooth, add a pinch each of salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg.

If you follow the instructions exactly, there should be no lumps. However, if lumps do appear, simply strain the sauce through a sieve.

Place chicken breast fillets in a single layer on the bottom of a heatproof baking dish (I find foil containers very convenient to use). Top with the pasta and cheese mixture.
