  7. Using a wire whisk, mix in flour and stir until bubbly. Mix in half & half and milk, stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  8. With your whisk, mix in 1� cup of cheese. Cook an additional 5 minutes until sauce starts to thicken. Remove sauce from heat.
  9. Cut your cooked chicken into bite size pieces and add to a large bowl. Add the pasta to your bowl and then the sauce. Mix everything to combine.
