Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add broth and heavy cream; stir in pasta and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease an 11×17-inch baking pan.

Step 3
Pour 1/2 the pasta mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/2 the Parmesan cheese and 1/2 the mozzarella cheese over the pasta. Layer remaining pasta on top; finish with remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.

Step 4
Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
