1. Cook ziti according to package directions. Drain. Place in large bowl; cover and reserve.
2. Meanwhile, beat egg, tomato paste and milk together in a small bowl; reserve.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat.  Cook chicken strips, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken from pot and mix with ziti in bowl; cover and reserve. 
4. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, onions and garlic in the pot.  Cook until brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over onions, stirring constantly, until lightly brown, 1 to 2 minutes.  Add egg mixture, stirring constantly, until well blended.  Stir in oregano, 1/2 cup of the grated white cheese and salt and pepper to taste. 
5. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture starts to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.  Stir in reserved chicken, macaroni and capers.  Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes. 
6. Serve with remaining 1/4 cup grated white cheese sprinkled on top.

*White cheese (soft or hard) can be found in the refrigerated section in some supermarkets or in Latino markets.
