  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 4 cloves Minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • ¾ cup Grated parmesan cheese
  • 1½ cups Shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Boil salted water in a large pot and cook the fusilli until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter, then add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Whisk in flour for 1 minute, then slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking continuously until smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in grated parmesan cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and Italian seasoning until melted and creamy.
  • In a bowl, mix cooked fusilli, chicken, and creamy sauce until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 baking dish and top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
  • Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Cook pasta al dente and let it rest after baking for better serving.
  • Fresh garlic and homemade grated cheese improve flavor and texture.
