Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Place both baking sheets into the oven and bake until vegetables are tender and a thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165°F (74°C)(about 20-30 min).
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. When cooked, drain, rinse and return pasta to the pot. Set aside.
- In a medium pot, melt butter. Add onions and garlic, sauté 3 minutes. Stir in flour. Slowly whisk in milk. Continue cooking over medium heat until sauce thickens. Season with salt & pepper.
- To the large pot with the cooked pasta, add the cooked vegetables, chicken and sauce. Mix until combined. Serve and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
- Optional – put mixture into a large baking dish and sprinkle extra mozzarella or Parmesan cheese on top. Broil in oven until golden brown.
