Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells Ingredients

Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shellsrn (3)

You’ll need:

  • 1 (15-ounce) container of Alfredo sauce (for the filling)
  • 1½ tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley (1 tablespoon for filling and ½ tablespoon for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing mix
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked black pepper
  • 3 cups of cooked and shredded chicken breast (about 3 medium-sized skinless boneless chicken breasts)
  • 1 (12-ounce) package of bacon cooked and crumbled (this measures ¾ cup cooked, divide into ½ cup and ¼ cup)
  • 3 cups of freshly grated mozzarella cheese (divided into 1½ cups for the filling and 1½ cups for the topping)
  • ½ cup of grated parmesan (divided into ¼ cup for the filling and ¼ cup for the topping)
  • 8 ounces (4½ cups) of jumbo pasta shells, cooked al dente and drained according to package directions
  • 1 (22-ounce) container of Alfredo sauce (for pouring over the stuffed shells)

Substitutions And Additions

MOZZARELLA: You can substitute packaged shredded mozzarella cheese for the freshly shredded mozzarella if you are pressed for time. The freshly shredded mozzarella will be creamier and well worth the extra effort.

BLACK PEPPER: You can substitute ½ teaspoon black pepper for the fresh cracked pepper.

VEGETABLES: You can add thawed frozen spinach to the chicken mixture for a chicken and spinach alternative. You could also add chopped artichoke hearts as well.

CHICKEN: If you are looking for a way to save time, you could use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and shred it before adding it to the creamy Alfredo sauce.

How To Make This Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells Recipe

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

You can make these easy stuffed shells the night before you are ready to serve them. Keep them in the fridge until you are ready to bake them at dinner time the next day.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a 9×13 casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set it aside.

STEP TWO: Add the 15-ounce container of alfredo sauce to a large mixing bowl.

Whisk in one tablespoon of chopped parsley, ranch dressing mix, and cracked black pepper until smooth.

STEP THREE: Stir in three cups of shredded chicken breast, ½ cup of crumbled bacon, 1½ cups of freshly grated mozzarella, and ¼ cup parmesan cheese.

Stir until completely combined.

STEP FOUR: Spoon 1½ to 2 tablespoons of filling into the cooked pasta shells. You may have a few extra shells left over.

Line the filled shells into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. I was able to fit 3 shells across and 8 to 9 shells down.

PRO TIP:

Use a pastry bag without a tip or a Ziploc bag with the end cut off to fill your stuffed shells easily.

STEP FIVE: Once you have filled the baking dish, evenly spoon the 22-ounce container of Alfredo sauce over the stuffed shells.

STEP SIX: Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, and ¼ cup of bacon over the Alfredo sauce.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.

PRO TIP:

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your shells as the suggested cook time approaches.

STEP SEVEN: Remove the foil from the stuffed shells. Increase the oven temperature to broil, and return the baking dish to the oven.

Allow the stuffed shells to broil for about 3 to 4 minutes, keeping a close eye on the topping.

Remove when the topping is just golden brown. Garnish with ½ tablespoon of fresh parsley. Serve while hot.

PRO TIP:

Keep a close eye on the cheese so it doesn’t burn, and remove it sooner than the 3-minute mark if needed.
