Start by introducing the recipe and ingredients for chicken casserole.

Prepare 500 grams of chicken cut into cubes and set aside.

Boil 1 cup of macaroni pasta and keep it ready.

In a bowl, beat 3 eggs and set aside for later use.

Chop onion and bell pepper, using 2-4 tablespoons of onion for the recipe.

Heat oil in a skillet and add the chopped onion, sautéing until translucent.

Add chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.

Once the onion is golden, add the chicken to the skillet and cook until it turns white.

Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and salt to taste.

Add 1/2 cup of ketchup and 1 tablespoon mustard paste to the chicken mixture.

Mix well and cook for a few more minutes until everything is combined.

In a separate pan, prepare a white sauce by melting 2 tablespoons of butter.

Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the melted butter and cook until it turns golden.

Gradually add 1 cup of cream and 1 cup of milk to the flour mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Season the white sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine the cooked chicken mixture with the boiled macaroni pasta in a large bowl.

Pour the white sauce over the chicken and pasta mixture and mix thoroughly.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with bread crumbs for a crispy topping.

Bake the casserole in a preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, approximately 25-30 minutes.
