Ingredients
-
1 jar (16 oz) Alfredo sauce
-
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
-
2 cups cooked broccoli, chopped
-
1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
-
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
-
21 jumbo pasta shells, cooked
-
1½ – 2 cups spaghetti sauce (optional, for added flavor)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
-
In a large bowl, mix together the Alfredo sauce, shredded chicken, cooked broccoli, cheddar or mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Stuff the Shells
-
Carefully stuff each cooked jumbo shell with the creamy chicken and broccoli mixture.
Step 4: Prepare the Baking Dish
-
Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish. If you like, spread a layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom for added flavor and moisture.
Step 5: Bake
-
Arrange the stuffed shells in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes, or until the shells are bubbly and the filling is heated through.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
-
Remove from the oven and top with extra Parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
-
Ensure the pasta is fully cooked but not overcooked, as it will bake more in the oven.
-
Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste. A dash of garlic powder or Italian seasoning adds great flavor.
-
For a crispier top, remove the foil during the last 5–10 minutes of baking to let the cheese brown slightly.
