To make the sauce- melt butter in sauce pan and mix in flour to make a roux.

Bring to a boil and take off heat, then mix in 1 cup cheddar and one cup Monterey jack cheese.
Mix until smooth then pour some sauce in bottom of greased baking pan (at least 13 X 9 size).
Pour one cup of sauce in chicken filling mixture and combine.
