Chicken Broccoli Shells

We tried this recipe last week and it was actually really good! Here are the ingredients:


1 (16 oz) jar alfredo sauce (you really need two)
2 cups frozen chopped broccoli (thawed)

2 cups diced cooked chicken (I used a food processor to shred the chicken..the shells are not that big so you would need to dice it into fine pieces or shred it like I did)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

24 jumbo pasta shells (1 box--cooked and drained)

Chopped onion to taste
Minced Garlic or Garlic powder to taste
Italian seasoning to taste

Salt and Pepper to taste

How To Prepare:
1) Preheat oven to 350. Boil shells and drain--set aside

2) Cook chicken--I cooked the chicken in a frying pan with a little olive oil and added some garlic, chopped onion, italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Then I put it in the food processor so that it was a nice shredded mixture that fit well in the shells.3) In a bowl, mix one jar of alfredo sauce, chicken, and broccoli, and cheeses.
4) Place shells in a greased pan and spoon mixture into the shells. (Here you have the option of pouring another jar of alfredo sauce over the shells which I did--Next time I would only pour 1/2 of the jar because I don't like things extra "saucy"). Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.



5) Enjoy! We were so hungry that I couldn't even get a finished product picture!


The only thing I would change is next time I would add more cheese on top of the shells before baking. Other than that it was great! :)
