Melt your butter in a different pot over medium, toss in flour and stir around for a minute, then pour in milk a bit at a time. Keep whisking ‘til it thickens up, might take a couple minutes.

Fill a pot with salted water, boil your macaroni noodles following the directions on the box, drain them, and leave them aside.

Let the chicken chill for a few before you cut it up so it keeps all the juices inside.
