Ingredients

Scale

  • 20 jumbo pasta shells

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pasta Shells
    Cook jumbo pasta shells in salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

  • Cook the Chicken
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season diced chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook chicken for 7-8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

  • Make the Garlic Butter Alfredo Sauce
    In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
    Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, then stir in Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
    Gradually add Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, stirring constantly until melted and creamy.

  • Combine Chicken and Sauce
    Return cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well to coat with sauce.

  • Stuff the Shells
    Carefully fill each cooked shell with the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture. Arrange stuffed shells in a greased baking dish.

  • Bake
    Pour remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the shells. Sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese on top.
    Bake in preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

  • Garnish and Serve
    Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the hot shells before serving.
