Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 350 F.

  2. 2

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain and return to pot.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add flour and whisk to combine. Cook 1 minute.

    Add milk and whisk until smooth. Simmer until thickened, 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Add cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

  6. 6

  7. 7

    Add cooked pasta, chicken and chives; stir until pasta is completely coated.

  8. 8

    Top with cheddar cheese and bake at 350 F for 15 minutes, until cheese is melted. (Broil for about 5 minutes to get the cheese golden and slightly crispy.)
