2 large Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or diced

2 cups Heavy cream
4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook until fully cooked through and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes per side. Shred or dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute

  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour the pasta and chicken mixture into the prepared dish, spreading evenly
  8. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and golden brow
  9. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley

Notes

For extra flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Allow the dish to rest before serving to prevent runniness.
