3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt cream cheese with heavy cream until smooth.

5. In a large bowl, combine chicken, broccoli, half of the cheddar and mozzarella, and the cream sauce.

Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese and cheese for best texture and flavor.
Slightly undercook the broccoli to maintain its texture in the bake.
For make-ahead, assemble and refrigerate without the final cheese topping, then add it just before baking.
