- At the base of the mold, we put a layer of béchamel sauce, then a layer of the white rice mixture, cooked chicken breast in strips and a little grated Parmesan cheese.
- We cover this layer with crumbled white cheese and again grated Parmesan cheese and béchamel sauce. We repeat the layer of rice, the cheeses and the béchamel, once or twice depending on the amount we want to prepare or the size of the mold, and we finish with a layer of Parmesan cheese.
