Ingredients
Scale
- 12 jumbo pasta shells
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook chicken breasts until golden brown (about 6-7 minutes per side) or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with spinach, half of the mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
- In a saucepan over low heat, warm up the Alfredo sauce until silky smooth.
- Stuff each pasta shell with the chicken mixture and place them snugly in a baking dish. Pour Alfredo sauce over stuffed shells and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Serve hot.
