Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven broiler to HIGH.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente, according to package directions. Drain, and set aside.
  • Return the pot to the stove, turn the heat to medium, and add the olive oil. Once the oil is heated and shimmering, add the chicken breast and season with salt and pepper.
    Stir occasionally, and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
  • Add the garlic to the same pot and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • To the pot, add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, and the Italian seasoning. Whisk frequently until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickened, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and chicken to the sauce, and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top.
  • Broil for 6 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and slightly browned.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
