Directions:Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
Cook penne pasta in boiling salted water following package directions. Drain in a colander, rinse, and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken, mushrooms, and Creole seasoning. Cook until chicken is cooked through and mushrooms are lightly browned. Remove the chicken and mushroom mixture to a bowl and set aside.
Melt the butter in the same skillet and stir in garlic. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Blend flour into the butter mixture until smooth and bubbly. Stir in milk and chicken broth. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Add 1 1/2 cups of the Mozzarella cheese and about half of the Parmesan cheese and cook until melted. Stir in the chicken and mushroom mixture and the artichokes. Taste and add salt and pepper, as desired.
Combine the sauce and pasta; transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheeses and sprinkle lightly with paprika. |
