1

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and heavy cream; stir in the pasta and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.
2

Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease an 11x17-inch baking pan.
3

Pour 1/2 of the pasta mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese over the pasta. Layer the remaining pasta on top; finish with the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
4

Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
