Enjoy this creamy, cheesy stuffed shell recipe combining tender chicken and rich Alfredo sauce for a comforting meal.

12 large jumbo pasta shells (Choose jumbo shells to hold plenty of the creamy filling.)

3 cups cooked shredded chicken (Rotisserie chicken makes this a quick, flavorful shortcut.)

15 oz ricotta cheese (Adds a smooth texture and mild flavor.)
2 cups mozzarella cheese (Melts beautifully for an irresistible gooey stretch.)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (Brings a nutty, savory kick.)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (Enhances the filling with subtle aromatic warmth.)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (Ties all the filling flavors together.)
0.5 cup butter (The base for a rich and silky sauce.)
2 cups heavy cream (Creates the luscious creaminess that defines Alfredo sauce.)
4 cloves garlic (Fresh garlic deepens the flavor.)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (Adds sharpness and thickens the sauce.)
to taste salt (Season to taste.)
to taste pepper (Season to taste.)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (Chopped for a pop of color.)
0.5 cup extra Parmesan cheese (Sprinkle on top for an extra cheesy crust.)

Cook pasta shells until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Mix shredded chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parsley to make the filling.
Stuff each shell with the chicken mixture and place in a baking dish.
Prepare Alfredo sauce by melting butter, adding garlic, heavy cream, and Parmesan, then simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour sauce over stuffed shells, sprinkle with extra Parmesan and parsley, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.

For a quicker version, use pre-cooked chicken and store-bought Alfredo sauce.
