Preheat oven to 350.
In a separate large skillet melt butter. Add garlic. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes.
Using a wire whisk, mix in flour and stir until bubbly. Mix in half & half and milk. Stir to combine. Bring sauce to a boil. Reduce to low heat. Simmer for 5 minutes.
With your whisk, mix in 1½ cup of cheese to the sauce. Cook an additional 5 minutes, until sauce starts to thicken. Remove sauce from heat.
Cut cooked chicken into bite size pieces and add to a large bowl. Add the pasta to bowl. Add sauce. Mix everything to combine.
Spray a 9×13 baking pan with non stick spray. Add the pasta mixture to the pan and sprinkle with 1½ cup of cheese.
