Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Béchamel Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk for about 2 minutes. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix the sautéed onions, shredded chicken, béchamel sauce, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble and Bake

    Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and chopped scallions. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy chicken dish!
