Instructions

1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the penne pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add more butter if needed. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Pour in heavy cream and milk. Stir to combine. Gradually add Velveeta and mozzarella, stirring until smooth and creamy.

5. Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add drained pasta and toss to coat everything in the sauce.

6. Season with salt and black pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor.

Add a splash of milk when reheating leftovers to maintain the sauce’s creaminess.

This recipe works well with rotisserie chicken if you’re in a hurry.
