Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells

I don’t know about you, but I always feel lame when I serve plain noodles and sauce to my family. I know that getting dinner on the table is the most important part, but man does that dish get boring haha. Introducing a fun, fresh spin on your classic pasta night: chicken alfredo stuffed shells. This cheesy stuffed pasta shell recipe is BOMB. Bursting with cheesy, creamy flavor, alfredo shells are anything but boring! 

Made with rotisserie chicken to make these uber easy and quick, you and your family are going to be obsessed. Opt for homemade alfredo or use a jarred sauce from the store – you literally cannot go wrong! I guarantee these chicken stuffed shells are going to become a staple in your house – see ya, boring pasta nights!

Ingredients In Chicken Alfredo Shells

• Pasta shells – Make sure to get the JUMBO ones so they’re big enough to stuff. 
• Cottage cheese – You can sub in ricotta cheese instead, if that’s your thing! I prefer cottage cheese in this dish. 
• Parmesan cheese, divided – Make sure to use real parmesan cheese – the powdered stuff in a jar will not cut it here! 
• Shredded chicken – I ALWAYS use rotisserie chicken here because it makes it SO easy. You can sub for other cooked shredded chicken if you’d prefer. 
• Dried parsley 
• Eggs – This will act as a binder for the cheese. 
• Salt & pepper, to taste 
• Alfredo sauce – I prefer using homemade alfredo sauce for this recipe, but you can use store bought as well!

How to make Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells

1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil on the stove. Once water is boiling, pre-cook your pasta shells until al dente. Once cooked, rinse your shells under cold water. 
2. While the pasta shells are cooking, make the cheese filling. 
3. In a medium sized bowl, combine the cottage cheese, 2 cups of the parmesan cheese, cooked shredded chicken, parsley, salt, pepper and the eggs. Stir until thoroughly mixed. 
4. Preheat your oven to 350° and spray an 11×13 pan with a nonstick spray. 
5. In your prepared pan, pour 1 cup of your alfredo sauce to cover the bottom. 
6. Next, spoon the mixed cheese/chicken filling into each cooked shell, one at a time, arranging the shells in the pan as you go. 
7. Pour your remaining Alfredo sauce on top of the stuffed shells in the pan. 
8. Next, top your shells with the remaining parmesan cheese. 
9. Place your pan in the oven, uncovered, and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. The cheese will be melted and the sauce will be slightly bubbly. 
10. Enjoy!

What should I serve with chicken alfredo shells?

We typically eat these Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells alongside some oven roasted broccoli, fresh fruit, Italian-style green salad (think Olive Garden) and some garlic bread.

How do I reheat leftovers?

You can heat up a single serving quickly in the microwave. But if you want to warm all your leftovers up at once, cover them with foil and toss them in the oven at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until they are warmed through.
