It’s pretty easy really. You just cook those shells. While they are cooking, mix together your cheesy chicken mixture that you will stuff them with.

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can I use fresh chicken for this recipe?

Absolutely? If you happen to have some fresh chicken on hand & the time to cook it & shred it before hand, that would work great for this recipe.

I like to use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken from tacos or some grilling the night before. It keeps things quick when it comes to prep.

Can this recipe be doubled?

Yes, if you are cooking for a large crowd, you can double this recipe. You will need 2 casserole dishes as this recipe does fill a 9×13 dish.

I would probably add another couple of minutes to the baking time when putting 2 trays in the oven side-by-side.

HOW DO YOU MAKE Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells?

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare a 9×13 casserole dish by spraying with olive oil or cooking spray. Set aside.
3. Cook shells to al dente (to package directions)
4. Drain the cooked shells and set aside to come to room temperature.
5. In a medium bowl, combine mozzarella & parmesan cheese. Remove half & set aside.
6. With the remaining half of the cheese mixture, add ricotta, egg, chicken, half the salt & pepper. Stir until fully incorporated.
7. Pour half the jar of the alfredo sauce into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
8. Spoon the chicken mixture into each cooked shell, about 1 heaping tablespoon into each.
9. Place the stuffed shells on top of the alfredo sauce in the casserole dish in a single layer.
10. Pour the remaining alfredo sauce over the prepared shells.
11. Top with remaining cheese, remaining salt and parsley (if adding)
12. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
13. Garnish with additional parsley before serving if desired.

What is the best way to store stuffed shells?

If you happen to have leftovers of this recipe, the easiest way is to place them in a shallow airtight container, label with the date & refrigerate.

Make sure to get the leftovers refrigerated within an hour of cooking to prevent bacteria growth.

Why use a shallow container to store the leftovers?

Well, when the container is shallow, the contents chill faster than if you were to use a large, deep container. Ideally, you don’t want it to take too long for the leftovers to get to their chilled/stored temperature.

As I mentioned, if the food remains above about 35 degrees for more than 1 hour after cooking, the bacteria starts to grow.

So, if the deep container of food takes several hours to finally get to that 35 degrees, the bacteria has been growing in your leftovers for those several hours. Not exactly what you want to happen.

How many people will this serve?

Well, it really depends on how large or small your portions are & how large the appetites are. I’m feeding 5 adult appetites, so this recipe feeds us 5 no leftovers or seconds.

But if you are feeding 2 adults & 2 smaller kids, then you will probably get at least 2 nights out of this meal. So nice to not have to cook dinner the next night.

Can this recipe be made with other sauce?

Yes – you can use marinara sauce to change it up. These are great with the chicken, or you can check out my other Stuffed Shells recipe here for more info.

How to reheat alfredo stuffed shells?

We like to add these to a microwave safe bowl or plate with a splash of milk & heat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until hot. Try not to overheat as they can get a bit rubbery if reheated for too long.

To make this recipe you will need…

• jumbo pasta shells
• alfredo sauce
• cooked & pulled rotisserie chicken
• ricotta cheese
• mozzarella cheese
• parmesan cheese
