Jumbo pasta shells filled with a creamy mixture of chicken, ricotta, and mozzarella, baked in rich Alfredo sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (12 oz) jumbo pasta shells
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 jars (15 oz each) Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the jumbo shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain the shells and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Pour about 1 cup of Alfredo sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Take each cooked shell and gently open it. Spoon or pipe the chicken and cheese filling into the cavity of each shell.
  6. Arrange the filled shells in a single layer in the baking dish over the sauce.
  7. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the stuffed shells.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese topping is golden brown.
  10. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • To freeze for later, assemble the entire dish without baking. Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking, adding 10-15 minutes to the bake time.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken to save time on preparation.
  • Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete family friendly meal.
