Directions

  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.

  2. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease an 11x17-inch baking pan.

  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.

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

Recipe Yield

1 11x17-inch bake

Recipe Note

Chicken and penne pasta simmer together in a garlicky, creamy broth, and are quickly baked between cheesy layers of Parmesan and mozzarella. Top with fresh parsley as desired.
