Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Fast, easy-to-cook meals are the saving grace of weeknights and essential for busy households with hectic schedules. Cheesy chicken-stuffed shells drenched in creamy alfredo sauce make a quick and hearty weeknight family dinner. Theyre a solid crowd-pleaser that you can pull off in a pinch. Stuffed shells look pretty impressive, but theyre actually incredibly simple. With prepared alfredo sauce and rotisserie chicken from the supermarket, most of the work has already been done. All you have to do is pull and chop the chicken, mix up the filling, stuff the shells, cover with sauce and cheese, and bake. If you want to get a little more chef-y, its absolutely fine to start with raw chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work very well in this recipe, and you can cook them in nearly the amount of time it takes to pull the meat off the rotisserie. Homemade alfredo sauce would make this dish extra luxurious. If you are cooking for a larger group, this recipe scales up easily. For a big crowd, double the recipe and cook in two 9 by 13-inch pans.
