Ingredients
1 box (12 oz) jumbo pasta shells
3 cups cooked shredded chicken
4 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1.5 cups fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook shells for 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Whisk in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until the sauce is smooth.
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 1 cup of the mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the prepared Alfredo sauce.
Stuff each cooked shell with the chicken mixture and place in a baking dish.
Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the shells and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Notes
Ensure you rinse the pasta with cold water to prevent it from sticking together while you prepare the filling. Using room temperature heavy cream helps prevent the sauce from curdling. You can add fresh parsley as a garnish before serving.
