While the casserole is baking, prepare the white sauce:

Dissolve the flour in cold milk. Set aside.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the dissolved flour. Stir constantly until mixed and all the lumps are gone, about 2 minutes.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking over low heat until sauce begins to thicken, stirring constantly.

Pour the white sauce over the chicken and garnish with cilantro.
