Method

Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes until crisp; drain and crumble. Pour off the fat.
Season the chicken with the salt and cook it in the same pot over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, until 74°C (165°F) inside. Tip out.
Boil the macaroni in salted water over high heat for 8 minutes and drain.
Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat, whisk in the flour for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the milk and simmer for 3 minutes until thick.
Take off the heat and stir in the cheddar and mustard until smooth.
Fold in the macaroni, chicken and bacon and serve hot.
