Ingredients

12 ounces penne pasta cooked in salted water according to package directions
3 cups diced cooked chicken
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided use
salt and pepper to taste
cooking spray
1 tablespoon parsley chopped

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, take a 3-quart baking dish and coat it with cooking spray.
In a large pan over medium heat, melt some butter. Add some garlic and cook it for 30 seconds. Then, whisk in some flour and continue cooking for 1 minute.
Pour some milk and cream into the pan and simmer the mixture while whisking constantly. Stop simmering when the sauce has just thickened.
To the milk mixture, add some parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and some salt and pepper to taste.
Stir the cheese mixture until the cheese has melted.
Take a large bowl and put some pasta and chicken into it. Pour the sauce over the top and toss everything together until it's coated evenly.
Pour the pasta mixture into the baking dish you prepared earlier. Top it off with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the pasta dish in the oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the pasta is bubbly and the cheese on top has just started to brown.
Once the pasta dish is done, take it out of the oven and sprinkle some parsley over the top. Then, it's ready to serve!
