Ingredients:
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or poached)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup mozzarella cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
