1 lb       Chicken, boneless, skinless, cubed

Place cream cheese spread, flour, and broth in skillet.  Cook and stir with wire whisk until boiling.  Reduce heat, simmer 5 min. stirring frequently.

Drain pasta, return to saucepan.  Add cream cheese mixture, chicken mixture and 2 TBSP parmesan.  Spoon into 2 L round casserole dish, cover.  Bake 25 min.  Tope with mozzarella and remaining 1 TBSP parmesan.  Continue baking until mozzarella is melted.
