Cheesy Picky Eater Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells Delight
What makes these stuffed shells so special? They are creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Plus, kids love them!
To start, gather your ingredients. You will need:
- 20 large pasta shells
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 and ½ cups Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
These stuffed shells are easy to make. First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to keep things from sticking.
Next, cook your pasta shells. Boil them in salted water until they are al dente. Drain them well and let them cool.
While the shells cool, mix up your filling. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, and half a cup of Alfredo sauce. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir it all together until it’s smooth.
Now it’s time to stuff the shells! Take a spoon and fill each pasta shell with the chicken mix. Place the filled shells into your baking dish.
After all the shells are in the dish, pour the rest of the Alfredo sauce over the top. Make sure to coat them well. Then, sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese all over the dish.
Cover the baking dish with foil and pop it into the oven. Bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes. You want the cheese to be bubbly and golden brown.
Once done, let the dish cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
These cheesy stuffed shells are a delight for picky eaters. They bring joy to the table and are sure to please everyone!
