4. Combine and Assemble
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl or directly in a buttered baking dish, combine the macaroni, chicken, and half of the white sauce. Gently fold in the egg slices.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and breadcrumbs.
5. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Broil for the last 2 minutes for an extra crispy top, if desired.
6. Serve Hot
