Description
Velveeta Chicken Penne in Creamy Mozzarella Garlic Cheese Sauce is the perfect comfort meal. Tender grilled chicken, creamy garlic cheese sauce, and al dente penne come together in one hearty, satisfying dish that’s both easy and indulgent.
Ingredients
2 cups penne pasta
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook penne pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through. Slice into chunks.
3. In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
4. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually add Velveeta and mozzarella, whisking until smooth.
5. Add cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to coat. Mix in grilled chicken.
6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Use freshly grated mozzarella for a better melt than pre-shredded.
Don’t overcook the pasta; aim for al dente to hold the sauce well.
Reheat with a splash of cream or milk to restore the creamy texture.
