Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Pasta Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease an 11x17-inch baking pan.
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.
Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
